New research shows human language evolved through ancient genetic systems that regulate genes, challenging the previous idea.

(CN) — Scientists have not yet decoded what sperm whales are saying to each other, but a study published Tuesday in Nature Communications shows their language is more complex than previously believed.

Sentences with greater linguistic complexity are most likely to fire up a key brain language processing center, according to a study that employed an artificial language network. With help from an ...

Humans are not the only species to combine concepts to build more complex meaning, a new study found. Bonobo chimpanzees combine calls in a manner similar to how humans structure words to make phrases ...

Complex networks offer a robust framework for understanding language and text as emergent, multi-level systems. Using graph theory, researchers represent words, punctuation, and semantic units as ...
