DESCRIPTION:<p>Abstract: In the 2008 Jean Nicod Lectures\, entitled 'Origins of Human<br>Communication'\, Michael Tomasello argues that empirical\, comparative<br>research between chimpanzees and human infants supports a Gricean<br>conception of shared intentionality as being essentially what<br>distinguishes human language from non-human communication. Having<br>outlined Tomasello's argument\, I will argue for the following two<br>claims. 1) Donald Davidson's Argument from Triangulation both supports<br>and is potentially completed by Tomasello's research. 2) In light of<br>(1)\, the purely theoretical nature of Davidson's argument suggests<br>that the supporting evolutionary story offered by Tomasello stands (or<br>falls) independently of the emphasis he places on referentiality as<br>being indicative of shared intentionality.<br><br>For those interested\, see the following Youtube interview with<br>Tomasello in 2008:&nbsp\;<a#1155cc\;target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2A5t8FcWGas</a></p>
