演化语言学达尔文语言学是一种社会生物学取径的语言学研究[1][2]。演化语言学家认为语言学演化生物学演化心理学的次领域。这种研究取径也与演化人类学认知语言学生物语言学有所关连。演化语言学将语言视为先天的产物,主要关注于语言的生物性起源和语言的发展[3]。演化语言学与人文主义取径相对,特别是结构语言学[4]

该学科较大的一项挑战是其缺乏实证资料:早期人类语言并无任何考古学证据。计算系统生物学人工语言临床研究常用来填补这一部分的知识空缺。虽然一般认为是生物学形塑了大脑对于语言的处理,目前却无法找到生物学与特定的语言结构或语言的普遍性的明确连结[5]

该领域一直缺乏突破性发展,随之而来的是许多针的语言的自然本质的讨论。有些人认为可将其视为一种器官[6]或是有机体[7]。有些人认为语言可视为一种晶体[8]或非晶体式的矿物结构[9],一种基因突变[10],一种生物本能[11],一种寄生虫[12]一种复制器群体[3];甚或是一种心智病毒。然而目前没有任何科学证据可以证实上述说法,有些看法亦被视为伪科学[13][14]
