摘要

什么是语言，谁或什么东西可以说拥有语言?在这篇文章中，我们在与非人类互动的背景下考虑这个问题，特别是:动物和计算机。虽然乍一看可能是一个奇怪的配对，但在这里，我们认为这些领域可以提供不同的视角，通过这些视角，我们可以探索和重新想象语言。人类与动物之间的互动，以及人类与计算机之间的互动，揭示了语言的本质和边界:从检查人类与动物互动中的顺序和偶然性的作用，到揭示与“智能”说话者和语言模型自然互动的挑战。通过围绕基本问题汇集不同领域，我们突破了语言探究的界限，并发现了语言是什么以及它如何在不同的非人类专属环境中发挥作用的新见解。

Reimagining language

Abstract What is language and who or what can be said to have it? In this essay we consider this question in the context of interactions with non-humans, specifically: animals and computers. While perhaps an odd pairing at first glance, here we argue that these domains can offer contrasting perspectives through which we can explore and reimagine language. The interactions between humans and animals, as well as between humans and computers, reveal both the essence and the boundaries of language: from examining the role of sequence and contingency in human-animal interaction, to unravelling the challenges of natural interactions with “smart” speakers and language models. By bringing together disparate fields around foundational questions, we push the boundaries of linguistic inquiry and uncover new insights into what language is and how it functions in diverse non-human-exclusive contexts.

期刊介绍： Linguistics in the Netherlands is a series of annual publications, sponsored by the Dutch Linguistics Association (Algemene Vereniging voor Taalwetenschap) and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company since Volume 8 in 1991. Each volume contains a careful selection through peer review of papers presented at the annual meeting of the society. The aim of the annual meeting is to provide members with an opportunity to report on their work in progress. Each volume presents an overview of research in different fields of linguistics in the Netherlands containing articles on phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics.
