| Abstract(in English) | To date, the origin and the mechanism of human language have never been clarified, because it is complex, i.e. interdisciplinary and invisible, phenomena (quantum mechanics). In order to perceive and analyze complex system, I introduced reference models and defined terms with rigorous, transparent and reversible definitions, and clarified the linguistic phenomena in physical and logical layers of speech communications. Then I came to the hypotheses that, about 70,000 years before present along the coastline of South Africa, the digital language was born, at first stage with the acquisition of Click consonant phonemes, then, at second stage, with the acquisition of vowel-accented moraic syllables enabled by development of hyoid, mandible and subsequent laryngeal descent. Language is a grammatical development of vertebrate sign reflexes. Signs function alone based on the dichotomy of pattern recognition (differentiation of A or not-A) and the dualism such as an integration of sign and movement vector (A+Bi=C) or a reaction chain (If A, then B). French and Japanese languages have an explicit minimum semantic and phonetic unit of "langage articule" or "bunsetsu", which has "grammar + concept" or "concept + grammar" structures. It is plausible that linguistic processing is a dualistic integration of a conceptual pattern recognition and a grammatical modulation/demodulation. It is plausible that grammatical processing is executed by auditory nuclei at brainstem, thus human speech is processed monaurally. |
