Meaning as founder effect in the prehistory of speech
In: https://halshs.archives-ouvertes.fr/halshs-03632943 ; 2022 (2022)
Abstract: AbstractVarious perspectives have been put forth in the scientific literature concerning the enigma raised by the origin of human language. Almost none go beyond the concept of protolanguage. However, today’s languages contain more vestiges of ancestral speech than is believed, thanks to the immaterial transcendence of meaning. The hypothesis taken into consideration here stems from the idea that man is an animal that lost its innate language. The evolutionary fact that allowed the replacement of animal communication among hominins is a process of organic exaptation of the vocal cords resulting from bipedalism. ‘Orphan’ phones emerged from this physio-anatomical transformation, allowing the connection between phonation and perception. That led to the intrusion of meaning into the brain-mind of the early hominins, which involved self-consciousness and basal memory. The founder effect of meaning then gave rise to a mastery of the double articulation of speech during the initial stage of syllabic phonemization among hominin tribes. Oral symbolism would later result in the first word as a full semiotic sign being engrammed in Pre-Sapiens memory. This would be followed by various linear processes of reduplication, concatenation, lexical compounding, intransitive and transitive predication which were enabled thanks to the simple binary branching of monosyllabic words. However, intensive lexical recursion would cause the early saturation of the primitive memory, since the externalization of meaning exerts selective pressure for greater efficiency. In response, the grammatical recursion of abstract categories would initiate non-linear transitive predication among modern Homo sapiens, thanks to cultural artefacts, like functional words, issued from several grammaticalization processes through time and populations. Consequently, this grammatical speciation within our species has not only resulted in our language faculty but has also enabled the increase of encephalon volume to its modern dimensions.
