LANGUAGE AS SOCIAL COORDINATION:
AN EVOLUTIONARY PERSPECTIVE
       Warsaw, 16-18 September 2010

The conference emphasizes the biological nature of language,
underscoring its coordinative function. The aim of the
conference is to 1) show continuity of natural language with
other informational systems in biology; 2) show that
language arises from and is crucial for human co-action.

Taking an evolutionary and comparative perspective, will
draw attention to the kinds of social coordination that
arise without (human-like) language, and that contribute to
the background used by (and present in) linguistic
communication. By so doing, it will be easier to appreciate
the qualitatively different types of co-ordination that are
specific to humans and language-dependent.

INVITED SPEAKERS:
* John Collier, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban
* Terrence Deacon, University of California at Berkeley
* Merlin Donald, Queen's University, Kingston
* Don Favareau, National University of Singapore
* Bruno Galantucci, Yeshiva University, New York
* Don Ross, University of Alabama at Birmingham and
University of Cape Town
* John Schumann, University of California, Los Angeles
* Colwyn Trevarthen, University of Edinburgh

CALL FOR PAPERS

We welcome papers from biology, linguistics, psychology,
communication science, philosophy, anthropology and
artificial intelligence in a joint effort to provide a
theoretical ground for such a view of language, and - even
more importantly - to provide empirical data clarifying the
mechanisms of language functioning and emergence. For more
