abstract
  • Human language behavior is one of the defining characteristics of our species. Distinct traditions for investigating language have been developed by philosophers and scientists. The Language Wikia attempts to find useful connections between philosophical and scientific approaches to the study of human language. The main language used in the Language Wikia is English, but content in additional languages is welcome. Historically, the study of human language has relied on observations of human language behavior, introspection, formal systems approaches (logic, computer science) and biological studies of how the brain makes language possible. The Language Wikia strives to bring together a community of amateur and professional philosophers and scientists who will make use of the wiki as a resource for multidisciplinary study of language. Aims: 1. * Compile descriptions and summaries of the important existing ideas from past studies of language. 2. * Attempt to find connections between the views of language that exist within the various sub-disciplines that study aspects of human language. 3. * Promote a broad enthusiasm for the study of past explorations and creation of future explorations of human language. The Language Wiki contains quoted text from copyrighted materials at websites and other sources such as books. The Philosophy and Science of Language community has also been served by discussion forums, such as the one at Yahoo. Text from these sources is reproduced here under the system of "fair use" by which intellectual activity involves discussion of the ideas of others.
