Abstract | Responds to previous article suggesting that grammatical mode of communication arose via natural selection. Recent linguistic research is reviewed that demonstrates that grammar is discourse driven and that explanations for grammatical phenomena not only must come from outside the grammatical system but must come from principles governing the social and cognitive factors involved in people talking to each other.
