Abstract:
"Xenolinguistics brings together biologists, anthropologists, linguists and other experts specialising on language and communication to explore what non-human, non-Earthbound language might look like. The 18 chapters examine what is known about human language and animal communication systems to provide reasonable hypotheses about what we may find if we encounter non-Earth intelligence"--
