linguistics in Spain.

You may subscribe to LingCog from your own e-mail account by using the

        EVOLUTION OF LANGUAGE - A COMPUTER MODELLING PROJECT

                           Advance Warning

The Sheffield Evolution of Language Group (SELG) has *applied* for a
studentship to be held between the University of Sheffield and
Sheffield Hallam University.  The title of this *proposed* studentship
is:

Modelling the evolution of human language using evolutionary computing
techniques.

The ultimate objective of this programme is to provide researchers
with a set of experimental tools to model specific theories of
language evolution.  The initial objective is to develop a
communicative protoform, a basic system with as few constraints as
possible, upon which the SELG team can build.  SELG are looking for a
PhD student to work on this.

SELG are interested in graduates with a background in linguistics, AI
or other cognate disciplines who are computer literate.  A knowledge
of the major theories of language and its evolution is also required.

It must be stressed that SELG have *not been awarded a studentship
yet*.  However, *if SELG are successful* in the competition the turn
around time will be very tight, hence this flyer.  If anyone is
interested in this project and wants more details please contact:
