International Workshop:

Human Dialects and Animal Communication: Common Principles and Differences

Grenoble, France

Gipsa-Lab and Lidilem (University of Grenoble) are organizing a joint
international workshop on the topic Human Dialects and Animal Communication. 

Although comparisons of communication systems of different animal species
and human languages show numerous similarities, this comparative approach
has never been systematically applied to the concept of dialect. Within the
vocalizations of certain species, as within the same human language, we
find varieties to which the generic term of dialect can be applied. This
comparative perspective compels us to investigate dimensions of individual
variation and dialectal variation within a collectivity of individuals, as
well as the evolution of communication systems and the biological and
social functions of differentiation. 

These questions are of concern both to linguists studying variation in
human language (dialectologists and sociolinguists) and to biologist
specializing in varieties of animal communication (ethologists and
zoologists). The answer to these questions requires that these two
scientific communities meet. Apart from scattered individual contacts, to
our knowledge, no scientific event has ever been devoted to organizing such
a meeting. This is the goal of the two-day workshop that we are organizing
in Grenoble on 4 and 5 March, 2013.
