Biolinguistics involves the study of language from a broad
perspective that embraces natural sciences, helping us better to
understand the fundamentals of the faculty of language. This
Handbook offers the most comprehensive state-of-the-field survey of
the subject available. A team of prominent scholars working in a
variety of disciplines is brought together to examine language
development, language evolution and neuroscience, as well as
providing overviews of the conceptual landscape of the field. The
Handbook includes work at the forefront of contemporary research
devoted to the evidence for a language instinct, the critical
period hypothesis, grammatical maturation, bilingualism, the
relation between mind and brain and the role of natural selection
in language evolution. It will be welcomed by graduate students and
researchers in a wide range of disciplines, including linguistics,
evolutionary biology and cognitive science.
