Narrative Persuasion. A Cognitive Perspective on Language Evolution[electronic resource] /by Francesco Ferretti. - 1st ed. 2022. - XIII, 138 p. 3 illus., 2 illus. in color.online resource. - Interdisciplinary Evolution Research,72199-3076 ;. - Interdisciplinary Evolution Research,3.

Narrative and persuasion -- Two models of communication -- Beyond the social brain -- The narrative brain -- Stories without language.

This book explores the evolutionary and cognitive foundations of human communication, focusing on narrative as its distinctive dimension. Within a framework of continuity with both the communication of our hominin predecessors and that of non-human animals, the book is about a twofold proposal. It includes the idea that (human and animal) communication has an intrinsically persuasive nature along with the hypothesis that humans developed narrative forms of communication in order to enhance their persuasive abilities. In this view, narrative persuasion becomes the feature that distinguishes human communication from animal communication. The study of the transition from animal communication to language addresses both the selective pressures that led communication for persuasive purposes to take a narrative form and the cognitive architectures and expressive systems that enabled our ancestors to cope with the selective pressures of persuasive/narrative-based communication. Language evolution is interdisciplinary, even from the specific perspective of evolutionary pragmatics chosen here. Therefore, this book is intended for researchers working in fields such as cognitive sciences, philosophy, evolutionary biology, cognitive psychology, and primatology. It also represents a valuable resource for advanced students in cognitive sciences, linguistics, and philosophy.
