This book looks at how the human brain got the capacity for language and how language then evolved. Its four parts are concerned with different views on the emergence of language, with what language is, how it evolved in the human brain, and finally how this process led to the properties of language. Part I considers the main approaches to the subject and how far language evolved culturally or genetically. Part II argues that language is a system of signs andconsiders how these elements first came together in the brain. Part III examines the evidence for brain mechanisms to allow the formation of signs. Part IV shows how the book''s explanation of language origins and evolution is not only consistent with the complex properties of languages but provides thebasis for a theory of syntax that offers insights into the learnability of language and to the nature of constructions that have defied decades of linguistic analysis, including including subject-verb inversion in questions, existential constructions, and long-distance dependencies.Denis Bouchard''s outstandingly original account will interest linguists of all persuasions as well as cognitive scientists and others interested in the evolution of language.

O. PRELIMINARY REMARKS Initial drafts of the papers in this collection were presented in a con ference entitled 'Views on Phrase Structure', held at the University of Florida, Gainesville, in March, 1989. Eleven of the twenty-three partici pants in the conference were able to contribute to this volume. The purpose of the conference was to explore theories of phrase structure in their relation to other subsystems of grammar and/or systems of nonlinguistic knowledge. Some of the grammatical subsystems which the authors consider are theta-theory, movement, Case, and binding; a number of papers address how the conceptual system and/or aspects of language use may interact. Unifying the various approaches and perspectives is an attempt to furnish hypotheses concerning prin ciples of phrase structure with some sort of independent justification. 1. PHRASE STRUCTURE THEORY: A BRIEF HISTORY A basic outline for a theory of phrase structure theory is accepted by all of the authors here; it is known as 'X-bar theory'. The concepts of X-bar theory are expressed in some form by a number of pre-generative linguists. For example, Bloomfield (1933) contrasted endocentric struc tures such as noun phrases and verb phrases with those he considered exocentric, e. g. prepositional phrases and clauses. Jespersen (1933), while presenting a functional system of description (in terms of 'ranks', where rank one is 'nominal', for example), clarified the relations among the head of a phrase, its modifier, and a phrase which modifies the modifier.

Tranches de vie est constitué d''une part de sketchs que nous avons écrits à quatre mains et qui faisaient partie d''un spectacle intitulé La farce de l''âge, créé au Théâtre du Rideau Vert, en 1990. L''idée était de s''inspirer d''un genre musical pour écrire chacun des textes. Par ailleurs, nous avons joint quelques textes que nous avons écrits ou joués l''un sans l''autre au cours des trente dernières années. Certains de ces numéros ont été retravaillés et présentés lors d''un gala Juste pour rire que nous avons animé ensemble, en 1997. Pendant le Gala du couple, nous avons marié un couple (pour vrai !) en leur montrant les tenants et les aboutissants de la vie à deux et particulièrement du mariage. Nous étions accompagnés, notamment de Claude Legault, Louis Champagne, Guillermina Kerwin, Peter MacLeod, François Morency, Arturo Brachetti et Robert Charlebois.Ce gala fut repris et adapté pour la France par Pascal Légitimus et Denis Bouchard sous le titre Souriez, vous êtes mariés avec, entre autres, Jean-Jacques Goldman, Maurane, Michel Jonasz, Lara Fabian, Jamel Debbouze, Romane Borhinger, Michel Drucker, Jean-Marie Bigard, Chevalier et Laspalès, Michèle Bernier, Éric Métayer, Daniel Russo et Laurent Baffie. Ces textes sont réunis et publiés pour la première fois.
