11/20/23, 1:02 PM Quiz Chapter 8: How and When is Language Possible? : ANTH 106 - 1001 FALL 2023 The human species, Homo sapiens, is known for its advanced language capabilities which have allowed us to develop complex societies, communicate intricate thoughts and emotions, and create and share knowledge and culture. The anatomy of H. sapiens plays a crucial role in our ability to communicate through language, and there are two specific elements of our anatomy which are clearly associated with language: the brain and the vocal tract. The human brain is a highly specialized organ, and its linguistic capabilities are evident in the way it processes and produces language. The left hemisphere of the brain is generally considered to be the dominant hemisphere for language processing in most individuals, and several regions within this hemisphere are specifically associated with various aspects of language, such as Broca's area, which is involved in language production, and Wernicke's area, which is involved in language comprehension. Question 32 Not yet graded / 3 pts Explain the significance of research into Nicaraguan sign language on the "theory theory" (also referred to as the "active construction of grammar theory"). Your Answer: as it provides valuable insights into the nature of language development and cognition. The study of Nicaraguan sign language has had a profound impact on our understanding of how language is acquired, and the role of social interaction and cultural context in shaping linguistic systems. Question 33 Not yet graded / 3 pts Describe the design feature that Hockett thought was probably the most likely to have emerged last in the development of human language. Why did Hockett think this feature must have emerged last? Your Answer: https://csn.instructure.com/courses/1375304/quizzes/2261677 14/15
