Tuesday Mar 12, 2013
The 35th of a weekly series of radio programmes created by :zoviet*france: for Basic.fm.
First broadcast 9 March 2013.
The playlist for this week’s show was put together while walking along a path suggested by the scientific paper, ‘The emergence of hierarchical structure in human language’.
Based on research by its authors, Shigeru Miyagawa, Robert C Berwick and Kazuo Okanoya, this describes how human language may have developed in part from the same evolutionary origins as birdsong.
