Language and social cognition come together in communication, but their relation has been intensely contested. Here, I argue that these two distinctively human abilities are connected in a positive feedback loop, whereby the development of one cognitive skill boosts the development of the other. More specifically, I hypothesize that language and social cognition codevelop in ontogeny and coevolve in diachrony through the acquisition, mature use, and cultural evolution of reference systems (e.g., demonstratives: "this" vs. "that"; articles: "a" vs. "the"; pronouns: "I" vs. "you"). I propose to study the connection between reference systems and communicative social cognition across three parallel timescales-language acquisition, language use, and language change, as a new research program for cultural evolutionary pragmatics. Within that framework, I discuss the coevolution of language and communicative social cognition as cognitive gadgets, and introduce a new methodological approach to study how universals and cross-linguistic differences in reference systems may result in different developmental pathways to human social cognition.

文化进化语用学:研究语言和社会认知的共同发展和共同进化。

语言和社会认知在交流中结合在一起,但它们之间的关系一直备受争议。在这里,我认为这两种独特的人类能力在正反馈循环中相互关联,一种认知技能的发展会促进另一种认知技能的发展。更具体地说,我假设语言和社会认知通过参考系统的获取、成熟使用和文化进化(例如,指示词:“this”与“that”;冠词:“a”vs. . “the”;代词:“I”与“you”)。我建议研究参考系统与交际社会认知之间的联系,跨越三个平行的时间尺度——语言习得、语言使用和语言变化,作为文化进化语用学的新研究计划。在这个框架内,我讨论了语言和交际社会认知作为认知工具的共同进化,并引入了一种新的方法论方法来研究参考系统中的普遍性和跨语言差异如何可能导致人类社会认知的不同发展途径。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA,保留所有权利)。
