Subject: Online Conference: Lang. Evol/Thry of Mind


Hi, everyone. 

There is an online conference. in Paris, actually. 

It is discussing the Evolution of Language and its interaction/interplay/bootstrapping with Theory of Mind. (Theory of Mind is the aware ness that you and others do not share the same "cognitive space", that is, it is a somewhat vaguely defined concept that includes awareness of the individuality of others, awareness of the fact that no two individuals perceive or respond to the same thing in the same way, and awareness that there each has a "mind".) 

But the people sound pretty good, in general. There are still some archaic artifacts, from Psychology, from Linguistics, and (sigh) from Chomsky. But I think it would be of interest to people working in Language Revitalization.
