Language is fantastically complex. Its built-in means of
combining and recombining(nesting)of its various levels have【M1】______
suggested to many leading linguists that language is
theoretically infinite though not practical so in everyday usage.【M2】______
It almost sounds too complex to be able to detect any significant
leveling out of language any more than one could detect by
observation that the sun is burning itself out.
As far as I am conscious no linguist seriously purports that【M3】______
the restructuring process of language overrides the streamlining
process resulted in a qualitative positive development of【M4】______
language. If we decide that language did originally develop,
possibly evolving animal communication, we can only do【M5】______
so by assuming evolution to be a universally valid principle This type【M6】______
of a priori reasoning was the basic fallacy of pre-Nineteenth
Century "speculative grammar" which was pre-scientific in modern【M7】______
sense of the word.
However, the observable data neither indicate that such a【M8】______
period of pre-historic development even existed, nor they【M9】______
suggest a cause of the subsequent state of equilibrium or process
of simplification that would have to have come into operation at
some time after such a pre-historic development. Noam
Chomsky, one of the most prominent linguists of the twentieth
century, has indicated that human language and animal
communication are not even comparative entities, they are so【M10】______
different. [br] 【M5】

答案
evolving∧一from
解析
词汇错误。evolve作“进化”解时。常为不及物动词,此处需加上介词from与后面的animal communication搭配。表示“由动物语言进化而来”,符合上下文语义。
