Description
Un'indagine sulla possibilità di lingue impossibili alla ricerca dell'impronta digitale indelebile del linguaggio umano.
Andrea Carlo Moro - professore ordinario di Linguistica generale presso la Scuola Universitaria Superiore IUSS di Pavia - studia la teoria della sintassi delle lingue umane e i fondamenti neurobiologici del linguaggio. Dottore di ricerca in linguistica, borsista Fulbright negli Stati Uniti, si è diplomato in sintassi comparata all'università di Ginevra ed è stato varie volte visiting scientist al MIT e alla Harvard University. Ha pubblicato numerosi articoli in riviste internazionali tra le quali Nature Neuroscience, Nature Human Behaviour, Trends in Cognitive Sciences, Linguistic Inquiry e i Proceedings of the National Academy of Science. Tra i suoi libri, tradotti in diverse lingue: The raising of predicates (1997), Dynamic Antisymmetry (2000), I confini di Babele (2006), Breve storia del verbo essere (2010), Parlo dunque sono (2012) e Le lingue impossibili (2017), La razza e la lingua. Sei lezioni contro il razzismo (2019). Ha scritto anche un romanzo, Il segreto di Pietramala (2018).
An investigation into the possibility of impossible languages, searching for the indelible fingerprint of human language. Can there be such a thing as an impossible human language? A biologist could describe an impossible animal as one that goes against the physical laws of nature (entropy, for example, or gravity). Are there any such laws that constrain languages? In this book, Andrea Moro—a distinguished linguist and neuroscientist—investigates the possibility of impossible languages, searching, as he does so, for the indelible fingerprint of human language. Moro shows how the very notion of impossible languages has helped shape research on the ultimate aim of linguistics: to define the class of possible human languages. He takes us beyond the boundaries of Babel, to the set of properties that, despite appearances, all languages share, and explores the sources of that order, drawing on scientific experiments he himself helped design. Moro compares syntax to the reverse side of a tapestry revealing a hidden and apparently intricate structure. He describes the brain as a Sieve, considers the reality of (linguistic) trees, and listens for the sound of thought by recording electrical activity in the brain. Words and sentences, he tells us, are like symphonies and constellations: they have no content of their own; they exist because we listen to them and look at them. We are part of the data.
Andrea Moro is Professor of General Linguistics at the Institute for Advanced Study (IUSS) in Pavia, Italy. He is the author of Dynamic Antisymmetry, Impossible Languages, and The Boundaries of Babel (all published by the MIT Press), and other books, including The Raising of Predicates and I Speak, Therefore I Am.
