“…In addition, it has strong language contact and lateral transfers with the surrounding Sinitic, Hmong‐Mien, and Tai‐Kadai (Lu et al, 2019; Man et al, 2019; Yu et al, 2019), these phenomena are referred to as language borrowing, which was widely existed and evidenced among Tujia language and the surrounding Sinitic or Hmong‐Mien (Zhang et al, 2019). Larger numbers of genetic, archaeological and linguistic studies (Jeong et al, 2018; Kutanan et al, 2018; Juhasz et al, 2019; Liu et al, 2020; Wang et al, 2019) have further illustrated that a significant statistical association between genetic structure and human cultural shift (e.g., language, agriculture, dietary, and so on) is caused by demic diffusion, not by simple cultural diffusion. Thus, we assumed that these extensive lexical borrowings in Tujia might have resulted from population migration, interaction, and subsequent genetic admixture with the surrounding or incoming populations, and may further influence the formation of the genetic structure of Tujia.…”

Archaeological, genetic, and linguistic evidence has supported the idea that northern China is the original center of modern Sino‐Tibetan‐speaking populations. However, the demographic history of subsequent southward migration and genetic admixture of Han Chinese with surrounding indigenous populations remain uncharacterized, and the language shifts and assimilations accompanied by movement of people, or just an adaptation of cultural ideas among populations in central China is still unclear, especially for Tibeto‐Burman‐speaking Tujia and central Han Chinese populations. To resolve this, we genotyped over 60K genome‐wide markers in 505 unrelated individuals from 63 indigenous populations. Our results showed both studied Han and Tujia were at the intermediate position in the modern East Asian North–South genetic cline and there was a correlation between the genetic composition and the latitude. We observed the strong genetic assimilation between Tujia people and central Han Chinese, which suggested massive population movements and genetic admixture under language borrowing. Tujia and central Han Chinese could be modeled as a two‐way admixture deriving primary ancestry from a northern ancestral population closely related to the ancient DevilsCave and present‐day Tibetans and a southern ancestral population closely related to the present‐day Tai‐Kadai and Austronesian‐speaking groups. The ancestral northern population we suspect to be related to the Neolithic millet farming groups in the Yellow River Basin or central China. We showed that the newly genotyped populations in Hubei Province had a higher proportion of DevilsCave or modern Tungusic/Mongolic‐related northern ancestries, while the Hunan populations harbored a higher proportion of Austronesian/Tai‐Kadai‐related southern ancestries.

“…While binary-tree based models built upon cognates for language evolution fairly succeeded in mapping well onto the history of human genetic migrations (though models incorporating horizontal transmission shows better fitting to data (Neureiter et al, 2022)), similar analyses performed in musical evolution appear to be less explanatory power with tree-like structure and more independent of population history. As discussed in the previous section, the analyses of the correlation between the cultural evolution of music and human population structures have provided both affirmative (Brown et al, 2014;Juhász et al, 2019;Pamjav et al, 2012) and negative results (Matsumae et al, 2021;Nishikawa & Ihara, 2022;Passmore et al, in prep. ), though Le Bomin et al (2016) showcased vertical transmission plays a key role in shaping musical diversity.…”

“…Some scholars are interested in reconstructing the macro-history of specific languages or musics (Bouckaert et al, 2012;Lomax, 1980), while others put emphasis on delineating the patterns from historical data (Gell-Mann & Ruhlen, 2011;Mauch et al, 2015). The types of studies further include relationships with population expansion (Gray et al, 2009;Juhász et al, 2019), ancestral state estimation from archeological evidence (Alaica et al, 2022;Barham & Everett, 2021;d'Errico et al, 2003), patterns of cultural transmission (Bryden et al, 2018;Youngblood, 2019), rate of evolution (Lambert et al, 2020), and so on. Although the range of research interests in this category is too wide to concisely summarize the overview, we pick up some studies to illustrate characteristic aspects of the evolution of music and language in the following sections.…”

Music and language are both forms of communication ubiquitously observed across human societies, prompting researchers to investigate why and how they evolved. While such research initially focused on the biological evolution of the capacities to create and perceive language and music, researchers increasingly emphasize the cultural evolution of language and music to study the mechanisms and processes driving the diversity and regularities of music and language. In this chapter, we aim to provide not only an overview and seminal studies of the cultural evolution of language and music (e.g. phylogenetic analysis of basic vocabulary, sequence alignment of melodies, rhythm transmission chain experiments) but also to contrast and synthesize both fields to highlight promising areas of future research. We group the literature by empirical/field studies, laboratory studies, simulation studies, and co-evolution. Furthermore, we propose key ideas that each discipline can learn from the other and promising research topics to encourage collaborative work between these two. We argue that integrating the emerging field of cultural evolution of music with the larger literature on language evolution will enrich our understanding of both music and language.

“…Therefore, morphology involves not only the study of the fundamental shape of words, but also their interior structure. According to [6]- [8], "Morphology refers to the brain mechanism involved in word development or the area of linguistics that studies words, their inner structure, and how they are generated. "…”

This research aims at analyzing the word formation processes used in "Captain Marvel" Movie. It was conducted not only to identify the types of word formation but also to reveal the processes of word formation occured in "Captain Marvel" movie. In conducting the research used qualitative method combine to quantitative one, where data are collected through watching the movie and reading the script. The technique of analysing data following the procedures proposed by Miles and Huberman data reduction, data display and drawing conclusion, while in analysing the word formation processes, used Morphologycal analysis by George Yule. The result showed that there were sixty-four data included in six types of word formation processes. There were nine data in Borrowing, thirty-eight data in Compounding, five data in Clipping, two data in Conversions, three data in Acronym, and five data in Derivation. Compounding Process was dominantly used in the "Captain Marvel" movie which found thirty-eight data.
