Why Only Us: Language and Evolution (The MIT Press)
Berwick and Chomsky draw on recent developments in linguistic theory to offer an evolutionary account of language and humans' remarkable, species-specific ability to acquire it.“A loosely connected collection of four essays that will fascinate anyone interested in the extraordinary phenomenon of language.”—New York Review of BooksWe are born crying, but those cries signal the first stirring of language. Within a year or so, infants master the sound system of their language: a few years after that, they are engaging in conversations. This remarkable, species-specific ability to acquire any human language—“the language faculty”—raises important biological questions about language, including how it has evolved. This book by two distinguished scholars—a computer scientist and a linguist—addresses the enduring question of the evolution of language.Robert Berwick and Noam Chomsky explain that until recently the evolutionary question could not be properly posed, because we did not have a clear idea of how to define “language” and therefore what it was that had evolved. But since the Minimalist Program, developed by Chomsky and others, we know the key ingredients of language and can put together an account of the evolution of human language and what distinguishes us from all other animals.Berwick and Chomsky discuss the biolinguistic perspective on language, which views language as a particular object of the biological world: the computational efficiency of language as a system of thought and understanding: the tension between Darwin's idea of gradual change and our contemporary understanding about evolutionary change and language: and evidence from nonhuman animals, in particular vocal learning in songbirds.

Maladie d’Alzheimer et communication
La maladie d'Alzheimer est une maladie de la communication. L'altération progressive du fonctionnement cognitif va rendre de plus en plus difficile la relation à l'autre, modifiant le rapport du sujet au monde. Le langage, vecteur principal et privilégié d'échange avec autrui, est en effet altéré dés le début pour devenir inopérant en fin d'évolution. Toutefois, l'appauvrissement relationnel induit par les troubles du langage ne doit pas nous conduire à considérer le patient comme incapable de communiquer. Même si les traitements médicaux ont progressé,il n'y a pas encore de traitement curatif à proposer aux malades. La prise en charge non médicamenteuse reste alors essentielle et s'enrichit de techniques toujours plus performantes.Au sommaire:La maladie d'Alzheimer: actualités thérapeutiques; Humour et maladie d'Alzheimer: un oxymore?; Rééducation neuropsychologique et aphasie primaire progressive: la situation «privilégiée» de la démence sémantique; Maladie d'Alzheimer et langage: un nouvel éclairage; Quand le patient voit les mots s'échapper
; Apport des nouvelles technologies pour l'évaluation et la prise en charge de la Maladie d'Alzheimer; Pathologies neurodégénératives et traitement des émotions: du biomarqueur diagnostique à la prise en charge; La méthodologie de soin Gineste-Marescotti® dite «humanitude»; Des ateliers mémoire à la stimulation cognitiveinformatisée; La Robotique d'interaction, de relation et de stimulation au service de la personne fragile et/ou atteinte de troubles cognitifs; L'action de France Alzheimer dans le soutien aux familles.
