Meeting Description:

The Evolang conference series provides the major meeting for researchers
worldwide in the origins and evolution of language. The Evolang conferences
are interdisciplinary, with contributions from disciplines including, but not
limited to: anthropology, archeology, artificial life, biology, cognitive
science, genetics, linguistics, modeling, paleontology, physiology,
primatology, and psychology. Typically, about 300 delegates attend, with
representatives from all these disciplines.

Call for Papers:

The 11th International Conference on the Evolution of Language (New Orleans, March 21 -24, 2016) invites substantive contributions relating to the evolution of human language. Submissions may be in any relevant discipline, including, but not limited to, anthropology, archeology, artificial life, biology, cognitive science, genetics, linguistics, modeling, paleontology, physiology, primatology, and psychology. Normal standards of academic excellence apply.

Submitted papers should aim to make clear their own substantive claim, relating this to relevant scientific literature, and briefly setting out the method by which the claim is substantiated, the nature of the relevant data, and/or the core of the theoretical argument concerned. Submissions may be theory-based, but empirical studies should not rest on preliminary results.

All submissions are refereed by at least three relevant referees, and acceptance is based on a scoring scheme pooling the reports of the referees. In recent conferences, the acceptance rate has been about 50%. Notification of acceptance will be given by 6 November.

Submissions can be made (by September 4) both for podium presentations (20 minutes plus 10 minutes for discussion) and for poster presentations. For further details on the conference including detailed submission instructions and templates, see http://www.usm.edu/gulfcoast/evolang-2016/call-papers
