AB This volume highlights new avenues of research in the language sciences, and particularly, inthe neurobiology of language. The term “language-ready brain” stresses, on the one hand, theimportance of a brain-based description of our species’ linguistic capacity, and, on the other,the need to appreciate the crucial role culture plays in shaping the linguistic systems childrenacquire and adults use. For this reason, the focus is not put on language per se, but on our learningbiases and cognitive pre-dispositions toward language. Both brain and culture are considered attwo crucial levels of inquiry: phylogeny and ontogeny. In a fast-growing field like the languagesciences and specifically, language evolution studies, this book has tried to capture several of themost exciting topics explored currently, sowing seeds for future investigations.
