Language
Chuko Shinsho / A language that is a necessity of life and dialogue and a source of intelligence and art. Why do humans have words? What is the origin of languages in giant systems? How do children learn words? What is the difference between humans and AI / animals? This book is an exploration journey that challenges the unexplored mountain of "the essence of language". The key is the unique learning power of humans, which uses onomatopoeia as a scaffold and uses abduction to climb the ladder. Cognitive scientists and linguists join hands to answer the mysteries of language development and approach human roots.
