The Dawn of Language

Brooks, Nelson

Foreign Language Annals, 8, 1, 18-21, Mar 75

Three meanings for the title of this article are discussed: the dawn of language in the species, for each individual (language acquisition), and as an academic discipline. It is argued that the third "dawn" will not take place until language is recognized as an independent discipline in its own right. (KM)
