Why do human beings make music? No human society has ever existed without music, and people all around the world commit considerable resources, including time, effort, and ingenuity, to musical participation and consumption. Yet until recently archaeology has had little to say about the possible role of music in human evolution. This book examines the potential role of musicality in human evolution and its consequences for human culture. Drawing on a growing body of research in archaeology, anthropology, psychology, and musicology, it illustrates the inter-disciplinary necessity of accounting for the phenomenon of human music-making. Through twelve articles, the contributors to his volume build on Charles Darwin's speculation that human language may have had its origins in forms of vocal communication closer to the condition of music. Music and language are both acquired by individuals, and thus transmitted over the generations as a consequence of an evolved biology specially adapted for these purposes. The authors of this book seek to illuminate the debate surrounding the precedence of musicality over language in research influenced by Darwin's proposal, critically examining the controversial philosophical, developmental, and inter-cultural issues implied. The accompanying CD provides some glimpses of the practice of music in a variety of cultures and illustrates ways of listening to the human voice that reveal its intrinsic musicality.

王辉教授的《全球化英语传播与中国的语言规划研究》一书，从经济文化全球化和英语传播扩大化这两个视角，分析中国语言规划中的问题，特别是汉语和英语的国际地位差别很大、汉语在网络虚拟世界中的地位和作用远远落在英语的后面、国内重英语轻汉语现象严重等问题，提出并论证语言生态和语言经济相结合的模式是应对英语扩散的主要模式。
全书借鉴国际语言规划理论和实践，引入语言资源、语言权利、语言生态及语言服务等理念，从语言与政治、语言与经济、语言与管理等视角，探讨中国语言规划问题，提出一系列应对措施，成为本书的重要特色。

《中国语言规划论》内容简介：语言规划，既属于工作范畴，又属于学术范畴。讨论和制定语言规划，以解决工作中的实际问题为目的，但要真正达到目的，又必须以严谨的学术研究作为前导，深入揭示相关的规律性，使之成为一门学问。《中国语言规划论》中的文章，或者偏重于讲工作，或者偏重于谈学术，或者甲中有乙、乙中有甲，但总体上都反映出了提高学术品位的美学理念。最能说明问题的文章之一，也许是《论母语》。文章指出：母语是个民族领域的概念，反映的是个人或民族成员对民族语言和民族文化的认同。母语直接指向民族共同语，但不指向共同语的地域变体，方言只能称为母言，不应视为母语；第一语言是人们“思维和交际的自然工具”，即所谓“自我表达的天然工具”，但与母语不是等同的概念。对于单一语言群体的母语问题，双语社会和双语家庭的母语问题， “母语失却”问题，文章从不同侧面展开了论说，其内容既是搞好语言文字工作的需要，其分析又同时反映出了讲求科学性的学术严谨。宇明一向认为，结合工作获得的科研成果，最易转化为工作效度，建立在坚实学术基础上的工作，最能解决现实中的“真问题”。从《中国语言规划论》可以看出，努力将工作与科研有机地融为一体，努力提高工作性文章的学术品位，这是宇明的追求。
中国语言规划，从制定到实施，到获得良好结果，绝非易事，需要一辈接一辈众多有志之士、有识之士、有为之士，做出坚持不懈的努力。《中国语言规划论》一书，是宇明到教育部语信司工作四年多来“工作+思索+熬夜”过程的一个动态缩影。宇明有个特点：不干则已，干则有获。

Ever since the origins of both linguistics and evolutionary biology in the 19th century, scholars have noted the similarity between biological evolution and language change. Yet until recently neither linguists nor biologists have developed a model of evolution to apply across the two fields. Explaining Language Change presents the first integrated theory of all aspects of language change which builds on the pioneering ideas of Richard Dawkins and David Hull in biology and philosophy of science. It provides a framework for assessing current theories and advances new ideas about grammatical reanalysis, conventional and non-conventional use of language, the structure of speech communities, language mixing, and the notion of 'progress' in language change. This is an important new study which reintegrates sociolinguistics and historical linguistics and weaves together research on grammatical change, pragmatics, social variation, language contact and genetic linguistics.
