The 1996 Annual Meeting of the Language Origins Society
July 11-15, 1996
You are invited to attend the 1996 Annual Meeting of the Language
Origins Society. The meeting will begin at approximately 1:00 p.m. on
July 11 and end at approximately 1:00 p.m. on July 15 at UMBC
(University of Maryland Baltimore County). The five day program will
include papers on all aspects of the origins and evolution of spoken,
written, and signed languages. What we know about evolutionary,
developmental, social, and linguistic processes places severe
constraints upon plausible scenarios for the origins and evolution of
language, and several papers will be explicitly concerned with defining
these constraints. As in past LOS meetings and consistent with its
multidisciplinary character, a broad range of disciplines will be
represented. The program is co-sponsored by UMBC and by the following
UMBC academic departments: Ancient Studies, Biology, English, History,
Interdisciplinary Studies, Modern Language and Linguistics, Philosophy,
Psychology, and Sociology and Anthropology.
A keynote lecture in honor of the late Jan Wind, founder of the LOS,
will be presented by Stevan Harnad, editor of the journal, BEHAVIORAL
AND BRAIN SCIENCES, and co-editor, with Steklis and Lancaster, of the
seminal volume, "Origins and evolution of language and speech" (ANNALS
OF THE NEW YORK ACADEMY OF SCIENCES, No. 280, 1976). Robert R. Provine
of the UMBC Department of Psychology will speak on laughter as an
approach to the mechanisms and evolution of vocal production,
perception and social behavior, following upon work presented in
AMERICAN SCIENTIST (1996, Vol. 84, 38-45).
Preliminary Program

Communicative continuum or cognitive hurtles? Stevan Harnad
