The Edinburgh Lectures in Language Evolution are an annual series of
lectures surveying the state of the art in our understanding of the
origins and evolution of language in our species. Each year, we
welcome one or more distinguished visiting speakers to deliver
lectures summarising their own work and where they think the future
breakthroughs in our understanding will come from.

The 2023 edition of the Edinburgh Lectures in Language Evolution will
be held virtually, and is free and open to the public. This year's we
are pleased to host:

Isabelle Dautriche (Aix-Marseille University) "The primitive of
semantic computations in human infants and baboons (Papio
papio)"(November 6th, 16:00-17:30 GMT)
Steve Piantadosi (UC Berkeley) "Syntax and Semantics in the Age of
Large Language models" (November 13th, 16:00-17:30 GMT)
Balthasar Bickel (University of Zurich) Title TBC. (November 20th,
16:00-17:30 GMT)
Adele Goldberg (Princeton University) Title TBC. (November 27th,
16:00-17:30 GMT)

Each event will begin with a virtual talk by one of the visiting
speakers that showcases their research. The talk will be followed by a
panel discussion between all three speakers, after which the audience
will have an opportunity to join the conversation.
