YR 1982 T1 Biological Foundations of Linguistic Communication: Towards a biocybernetics of language PB John Benjamins UL https://www.jbe-platform.com/content/books/9789027280589, AB This is the second of two volumes – the first volume being Waltraud Brennenstuhl’s Control and Ability (P&B III:4) – treating biocybernetical questions of language. This book starts out from an investigation of the (neuro-)biological relevancy of natural language from the point of view of grammar and the lexicon. Furthermore, the basic mechanisms of the self-organization of organisms in their environments are discussed, in so far as they lead to linguistic control and abilities.
