Linguistics and Protolanguage

A Corollary Between the "chi" and New Language; a Portal from Protolanguage to Paper language protolanguage history eat me you consciousness awareness type fastertoday I will. If I were alive during the era of species erectus, might this have been my speechpattern?-nouns and simple verbs (although these words could not have existed then) withoutgrammatical items? The answer-most likely. Language derives from protolanguage (although thegap between the two brings up interesting debates), the foundation of language. From fossils oflanguage, to complete protolanguage, to the link between protolanguage and language, to thefinal utopia (so far) of consciousness, the mind, and the ever lasting pursuit of knowledge,language has emerged from its predicted origins into a reflection of our "chi", or consciousness. In the pursuit of knowledge, one must not overlook the birth of language. Within the massspectrum of our origins, the history of language predicates upon the existence of animalcommunication, especially that of apes, the pidgin (Creole) languages, and most importantly theprotolanguage which set the foundations, through phylogeny, for an advanced means ofcommunication-consciousness, mind, and the ever


Genie, a child who had been excluded from language andsociety beyond the maximum language "box filler"-the maximum amount of time necessary to fillthe language void-had tremendous difficulties completely learning language; therefore, it can beconcluded, that language is sometimes a learned phenomenon disinnate in some grammaticalcategories. Thus from the last statement, we conclude suchthings as artifacts developed as a function of language. Consciousness, the final abyss that breaches the mind and pursuit of knowledge; it is theenigma of language. "In other words, it is toolmaking [sic] and protolanguagethat share the same processes" (Ibid 139); hence, tool making is a function of language evolution. The limits of language thenhave no boundaries, only infinite ranges as a function of consciousness. The development of language in children can most interestinglybe compared to the protolanguage; "Phenomena found around the onset of true-languageacquisition in ontegeny can be accounted for in much the same way as were . The question remains, and the facultyunanswered (at least by Bickerton): how did protolanguage evolve into language? The phylogeny of language from protolanguage can neither be proved nor disproved,however, theories and occurances can lead one to examine the development of language amongchildren, creole speakers (most interestingly first generation), and more generally, the phylogenyfrom protolanguage to language. From the fossils of to the outbirth of language from protolanguage, and the continuingexponential drive for knowledge, the origins-and therefore the futures-of language linger withinone's perspective. As this process approaches infinity,the mind, pursuit of knowledge, and consciousness develops-again, exponentially-to limitsunbeknownst to most humans. Natural selection accords to theenvironment; therefore, language must have evolved by the environmental mutations andadaptations of natural selection-evolution. Total consciousness, then, is rareand arrived at only by a select few. The behavioral adaptations between the habilis and the erectus could be categorized by themigration and spread of the latter and the stationary grouping of the former. Furthermore, the lowering of the larynx in the erectus species could have provided them with anadvantage of protolanguage speech over the habilis species. Hence, according to this statement, observations of language development in children can becategorized and compared to the protolanguage foundations of language.
