Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 2,0, University of Cologne (Institut für Englische Sprache und ihre Didaktik), course: The Evolution of Language, 13 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: For many years, theorizing about language evolution was banned from the scientific discourse. Thus, only little research in this field had been developed up to the beginning of the last century.

This essay presents some of the recent attempts to explain the evolution of language and especially clarifies the difficulties that come about when tackling this problem.
