摘要

由于视觉表征具有强大的符号潜力,语言起源的手势和哑剧假设非常适合为自举问题提供解决方案:如何在没有符号存在的情况下开始交流。然而,即兴手势和哑剧的一次性、非标准化性质意味着在时间、认知努力和复制保真度方面的巨大成本。因此,手势和哑剧假设指出了效率的压力,这将使原本笨拙的具体化表征简化为逐渐减少的形式,占用更少的空间和时间,并且生产成本更低。从这个角度来看,语言起源的哑剧理论特别有趣,因为它们把焦点放在了从全身哑剧到仅用手的手势的转变上。这些过程,我们称之为减少和手工专业化,实际上没有直接测量。我们报告了一个实验,参与者使用全身哑剧来交流一组及物动作。运动捕捉技术用于测量参与者运动的运动学特征。与对语言起源的哑剧假设的预测一致,我们看到手和手臂动作的比例比其他身体发音的动作有所增加,这表明从更昂贵的全身哑剧逐渐过渡到更经济的手势。我们还发现,随着连续几轮的互动,参与者的动作量和他们身体发音的路径都减少了。

Evolution of Pantomime in Dyadic Interaction. A Motion Capture Study
Abstract Due to the robust iconic potential of visual representations, gestural, and pantomimic hypotheses of language origins are well suited to provide solutions to the bootstrapping problem: how to begin communicating when no signs yet exist. However, the one-off, unstandardised nature of improvised gestures and pantomimes implies substantial costs in terms of time, cognitive effort, and replication fidelity. Hence, gestural and pantomimic hypotheses point to pressures for efficiency that would streamline the originally unwieldy embodied representations into forms that are progressively reduced, take up less space and time, and are less costly to produce. Pantomimic theories of language origins are especially interesting from this perspective since they put a spotlight on the transition from whole-body pantomimes into manual-only gestures. These processes, which we refer to as reduction and manual specialisation, have been virtually unaddressed with direct measurement. We report an experiment in which participants used whole-body pantomimes to communicate a set of transitive actions. Motion-capture technology was used to measure the kinematic characteristics of participants’ movements. In line with the prediction of pantomimic hypotheses of language origins, we saw an increase in the ratio of hand and arm movements versus the movements of other bodily articulators, suggesting a gradual transition from more costly whole-body pantomime to more economic manual gesture. We also found that with successive rounds of interaction, the volume of participants’ movements and the path travelled by their bodily articulators decreased.
