Description: Xenolinguistics brings together biologists anthropologists linguists and other experts specializing in language and communication to explore what non - human non - Earthbound language might look like.

Showcasing an interdisciplinary dialogue between a set of highly established scholars this volume: Clarifies what is and is not known about human language and animal communication systems Presents speculative arguments as a philosophical exercise to help define the boundaries of what our current science can tell us about non - speculative areas of investigation Provides readers with a clearer sense of how our knowledge about language is better informed through a cross - disciplinary investigation Offers a better understanding of future avenues of research on language This rich interdisciplinary collection with chapter authors including Noam Chomsky Derek Ball Denise Herzing and Irene Pepperberg will be of interest to researchers and students studying non - human communication astrobiology and language invention.
