The Origins of Language and Language Evolution

Symbiosism is a Darwinian theory of the emergence and continuing evolution of human language and language-borne ideas. Meanings are understood to be self-reproducing neurological entities with the mathematical properties of non-constructible sets that are subject to natural selection. The theoretical model of Symbiosism grew out of the Leiden School of language evolution and gave rise to the cheerful philosophy known as Symbiomism. Both are set forth in the forthcoming book The Language Organism. A synoptic preview is provided by the Toronto talk, which can be accessed below.
