computational, robotic, and mathematical approaches.

The main school (http://pil.phys.uniroma1.it/erice2007/index.html)
brings together about 30 lecturers, with linguists including: Ben Bergen,
Bill Croft, Bruno Galantucci, Susan Goldin-Meadow, Jean-Marie Hombert, Jim
Hurford, Laura Michaelis, Bill Wang.

There is a specialised atelier (http://www.csl.sony.fr/erice2007/) on
using computational Construction Grammar for modeling language evolution
with exercises and hands-on experience.

interested participants should email as soon as possible to
tagora2007 at csl.sony.fr and check out the websites.
