Language Origins Society 2000 conference

[bruce richman]

THE LANGUAGE ORIGINS SOCIETY 2000 CONFERENCE AT RUTGERS UNIVERSITY ON
SEPT.4&5 WILL BE PRESENTING SOME REMARKABLE EVIDENCE ABOUT THE ORIGINS OF
HUMAN LANGUAGE.

ALTERNATIVES TO CHOMSKY:  For 40 years Chomsky and his followers have
claimed that the structure of language was innately implanted in people's
brains -- with no empirical or scientific evidence to back this up!
Scholars from around the world will present evidence to show how empty and
without scientific merit Chomsky's claims really are.  And they will discuss
how to set up a new kind of language study that will apply real scientific
methods to real human language.

TERRENCE DEACON of Boston University will give a provocative talk on
  "Why language must be older than Homo sapiens.  The neurological evidence
for two million years of brain-language coevolution"

MARC HAUSER of Harvard University will give a provocative talk on
  "The speech as special debate: New data from nonhuman animals and human
infants"
