ORGANISED BY: Professor Jean Aitchison (Oxford University),
Dr. Jean-Louis Dessalles (ENST Paris), Professor Jim Hurford
(Department of Linguistics, University of Edinburgh),
Dr. Chris Knight (Department of Sociology, University of
East London), Professor Luc Steels (Sony CSL and Vrije
Universiteit Brussel).
LOCAL ORGANISATION: Jean-Louis Dessalles (ENST), Laleh Ghadakpour (CREA),
Frdric Kaplan (Sony CSL), Luc Steels (Sony CSL), Franois Yvon (ENST).
This will be the third conference in a series concerned
with the evolutionary emergence of speech. From a wide
range of disciplines, we seek to attract researchers
willing to integrate their perspectives with those of
modern Darwinism.
The aim is to bring together linguists, computer scientists,
anthropologists, palaeontologists, ethologists, geneticists,
neuroscientists, and other scientists who are concerned with
the question of the origin and evolution of language.
