Abstract
The main lines of evidence taken as support for the "gesture-first" hypothesis of language origins are briefly evaluated, and the problem that speech poses for this hypothesis is discussed. I conclude that language must have evolved in the oral-aural and kinesic modalities together, with neither modality taking precedence over the other.
摘要
本文简要评估了支持语言起源“手势优先”假说的主要证据，并讨论了言语对该假说构成的问题。我得出的结论是，语言必定是在口头-听觉和肢体动作方式中共同演化的，两种方式都不占优先地位。
