Aim : to explore how people created language during their
evolution and how people achieved the historic leap from no language to they can talk.
研究语言起源问题的目的在于探索人类是怎样在其进化发展的历史过程中创造了语言,是如何实现从没有语言到能够开口说话的历史性跨越的.
Discussing the following two questions :

What conditions could language be produced? (语言在什么条件下产生的)
Human language is evolved from munications?
(人类语言是从什么交际手段发展而来的)
Two aspects of the origin of language
The divine – origin theory (神授论)
二 Human creation theory (人创说)
一 the Divine -- Origin Theory (神授论)
《旧约·创世纪》写到:“And out of the ground the Lord God for med every filed, and every fowl of the air; and brought onto Adam to see what the would call them, and what Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.”
这是说:上帝用地上的泥土造出了各种动物和飞鸟,把它们带到亚当那里看他怎么称呼它们。无论亚当怎么称呼每个生物,它们就如此得名。从上面的观点看,语言的起源是对物质的命名开始的,就是“亚当怎么称呼每一个生物”。
其它观点:①印度婆罗门教《吠陀》中:语言是神赐予人类的一种特殊能力.②基督教《圣经》中:耶和华创造了亚当,亚当创造了语言.③我国苗族传说:山神创造了人,并传授了语言.
Human creation theory: language is created by people.
一 gesture theory (手势说)
二 Social contract theory (社会契约说)
三Bow – bow theory (咆哮说)
四 Yo- he –ho theory (哟─嗬─哟”理论)

五 Pooh-pooh theory (感叹说)
