【 摘 要 】

Murphy (2015) seeks to gain insight into the phylogeny of the human language faculty by adopting a computational perspective. After surveying the ethology literature in an attempt to isolate what is lacking in other species at the computational level, Murphy claims that the process of Labeling, well studied in theoretical linguistics, is what is specific to human language.
