EMERGENCE AND DEVELOPMENT OF CONTACT IDIOMS IN THE FRAME OF PHILOSOPHY OF GLOBAL EVOLUTIONISM

Based on observations of the emergence of pidgins, their further extension and transformation into creole languages (all these forms of language are denoted by the term “contact idioms” in this article), the hypothesis is put forward in this part of the exploration that the origin and development...

description Based on observations of the emergence of pidgins, their further extension and transformation into creole languages (all these forms of language are denoted by the term “contact idioms” in this article), the hypothesis is put forward in this part of the exploration that the origin and development of the human language seem to be similar in many dimensions to the emergence and development of contact idioms. In support of that hypothesis, both the general conceptions of some contemporary evolutionary linguists (in particular, D. Bickerton, W.T. Fitch, T. Nikolaeva, B. Bichakjian) are described and evolutionary strategies for some particular languages and language families are surveyed. The similarity of evolutionary vectors of pidgins and creole languages and several of the other language families is assumed. Based on the considered linguistic material, it is postulated that the law “ontogeny manifests a repetition of several phylogenetic stages” or the recapitulationist theory – with all its ambiguousness from the standpoint of present-day biology – seems to be true for linguistic evolution. Attention is focused on the importance of using a comprehensive communicative-discursive approach to the study of glottogenesis, as described in the works of domestic and international linguists who specialize in evolutionary linguistics and general linguistics and whose names are mentioned above. The relevance of the material of contact idioms and languages of other groups and families listed in this paper for such purposes is emphasized.
