Mothering plus vocalization doesn't equal language
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 February 2005
Abstract:
Falk has much of interest to say on the evolution of mothering, but she fails to address the core issue of language evolution: how symbolism or structure evolved. Control of infants does not require either, and Falk provides neither evidence nor arguments supporting referential symbolism as a component of mother-infant interactions.
