Language in a Darwinian Perspective
For centuries linguists have attempted to explain why languages change: why, for example, does the word order of Spanish differ from that of Latin? The author persuasively argues that languages change, not in a random way, but because they are driven by evolutionary pressures of natural selection, pressures that favor functional and economical alternatives. Anyone interested in the application of Darwin's theory of evolution to linguistic change should read this well researched and informative book.
