达尔文的《物种起源》出版后,语言学家就想到用生物进化的模式来研究语言的发展,由此语言进化课题新鲜出炉。随着语言学家对语言生物机制的研究,语言进化研究也得到了进一步的推进。到20世纪末,语言进化国际研讨会成为语言进化研究走上正轨的助推器;然而,语言进化研究真正取得共识性的突破还是21世纪初语言学家们研究发现了词汇进化规律——词汇进化与使用频率成反比。跨学科联合是语言进化研究今后的必然之路。
After Darwin’s The Origin of Species was published, linguists came up with the idea that the evolution of languages should be studied in a biological evolutionary model. As linguists study the biological mechanism of language, linguistic evolution research has been further promoted. By the end of the 20th century, the International Seminar on Linguistic Evolution has become a booster for the study of linguistic evolution; however, what is the real breakthrough in linguistic evolution? Or is it that in the early 21st century, linguists have discovered and studied the law of lexical evolution - the evolution of vocabulary In inverse proportion to the frequency of use. Interdisciplinary joint is the inevitable way of linguistic evolution research in the future.
