   Both vocalization and gesture are universal modes of communication and fundamental features of language development. The gestural origins theory proposes that language evolved out of early gestural use. However, evidence reported here suggests vocalization is much more prominent in early human communication than gesture is.

   Sep 1, 2017 · Language was built piece by piece, but not like Esperanto, which was the work of a person with linguistic models and a linguistically wired brain. Language was built by a population with a prelinguistic brain and on the basis of prelinguistic mapping principles.

   The vocal theory of language origins predicts that calls represent a precursor of human language (e.g. Seyfarth, 1987; Masataka, 2003; Snowdon, 2009; Zuberbühler et al., 2009; Lemasson, 2011). At least nine key characteristics of human language have been identified in primitive forms in primate vocalisations, particularly in monkeys.

   Mar 28, 2023 · The precise nature of language is shaped by the needs of the species (arguably, uniquely H. sapiens) utilizing it, and the emergence of new situational adaptations, as well as new forms and types of human language, demonstrates that language includes an act driven by a communicative goal.

   Nov 15, 2021 · Here, I focus on three areas of cross-cultural voice modulation research: (i) vocal signalling of formidability and dominance, (ii) vocal emotions, and (iii) production and perception of infant-directed speech.

   Did vocal communication predominate in the evolution of language?

   • The relative tendency to communicate in the vocal domain compared to the gestural domain in early life is not only important in informing our understanding of the emergence of the speech capacity in modern human development, but it also offers insights into the likelihood that vocal communication predominated in the evolution of language.

   How do people modulate their voices?

   • Currently, there are flourishing cross-cultural research programmes examining how people (i) modulate their voices in ways that signal dominance and formidability, (ii) generate emotional vocal signals for the navigation of social interactions, and (iii) communicate vocally with preverbal infants and young language learners.

   Was gestural communication a prerequisite for the emergence of language?

   • Reports on non-human primates, particularly great apes, suggest that gestural communication would have been a crucial prerequisite for the emergence of language, mainly based on the evidence of large communication repertoires and their associated multifaceted nature of intentionality that are key properties of language.

   What is voice modulation?

   • Human communication generally manifests itself in conversation, a multimodal interactive phenomenon rooted in language. Voice modulation must be understood largely in this milieu, presenting researchers with a variety of empirical challenges.

   Can gesture and vocalization develop into full-fledged language?

   • Of course, both gesture and vocalization are capable of developing into full-fledged language with full functional flexibility. Both modalities include actions that are not inherently tied to particular universal functions.
