PSYCOLOQUY CALL FOR COMMENTARY
The target articles below have been published in PSYCOLOQUY, a refereed
journal of Open Peer Commentary sponsored by the American Psychological
Association (APA) and indexed in Current Contents and in PsycInfo
(http://www.apa.org/psycinfo/about/covlist.html).
Qualified professional biobehavioral, neural or cognitive
scientists are hereby invited to submit Open Peer Commentary on these
target articles.
If you are not familiar with the format or acceptance criteria for
PSYCOLOQUY commentaries (all submissions are refereed), please consult
the websites below or email for instructions:
SUBMIT COMMENTARIES TO: psyc at pucc.princeton.edu
URLs: http://www.princeton.edu/~harnad/psyc.html
http://www.cogsci.soton.ac.uk/psyc
TARGET ARTICLES on which commentary is invited:
(1) CROW: LANGUAGE-SEX-CHROMOSOMES
Crow, T. J. (2000) Did Homo Sapiens Speciate on the Y Chromosome?
Psycoloquy 11 (001)
http://www.cogsci.soton.ac.uk/cgi/psyc/newpsy?11.001
ABSTRACT: It is hypothesised that the critical change (a
"saltation") in the transition from a precursor hominid to modern
Homo sapiens occurred in a gene for cerebral lateralisation located
on the Y chromosome in a block of sequences that had earlier
transposed from the X. Sexual selection acting upon an X-Y
homologous gene to determine the relative rates of development of
the hemispheres across the antero-posterior axis ("cerebral
torque") allowed language to evolve as a species-specific mate
recognition system. Human evolution may exemplify a general role
for sex chromosomal change in speciation events in sexually
reproducing organisms.
(2) PLACE: LANGUAGE-GESTURE
Place, U. T. (2000) The Role of the Hand in the Evolution of
Language Psycoloquy 11 (007)
http://www.cogsci.soton.ac.uk/cgi/psyc/newpsy?11.007
ABSTRACT: This target article has four sections. Section I sets
out four principles which should guide any attempt to reconstruct
the evolution of an existing biological characteristic. Section II
sets out thirteen principles specific to a reconstruction of the
evolution of language. Section III sets out eleven pieces of
evidence for the view that vocal language must have been preceded
by an earlier language of gesture. Based on those principles and
evidence, Section IV sets out seven proposed stages in the process
whereby language evolved: (1) the use of mimed movement to indicate
an action to be performed, (2) the development of referential
pointing which, when combined with mimed movement, leads to a
language of gesture, (3) the development of vocalisation, initially
as a way of imitating the calls of animals, (4) counting on the
fingers leading into (5) the development of symbolic as distinct
from iconic representation, (6) the introduction of the practice of
question and answer, and (7) the emergence of syntax as a way of
disambiguating utterances that can otherwise be disambiguated only
by gesture.
The Book Precis below has also been published in Psycoloquy. The
book has been selected for multiple review. If you wish to submit a
formal book review please write to psyc at pucc.princeton.edu indicating
what expertise you would bring to bear on reviewing the book if you
were selected to review it.
(If you have never reviewed for PSYCOLOQUY or Behavioral & Brain
Sciences before, it would be helpful if you could also append a copy of
your CV to your inquiry.) If you are selected as one of the reviewers
and do not have a copy of the book, you will be sent a copy of the book
directly by the publisher (please let us know if you have a copy
already). Reviews may also be submitted without invitation, but all
reviews will be refereed. The author will reply to all accepted
reviews.

http://www.princeton.edu/~harnad/psyc.html
http://www.cogsci.soton.ac.uk/psyc
Psycoloquy reviews are of the book not the Precis. Length should be
about 200 lines [c. 1800 words], with a short abstract (about 50
words), an indexable title, and reviewer's full name and institutional
address, email and Home Page URL. All references that are
electronically accessible should also have URLs.
TARGET ARTICLE (BOOK PRECIS) for which review is invited:
(1) CARSTAIRS-MCCARTHY: LANGUAGE-ORIGINS
Carstairs-McCarthy, A. (2000) The Origins of Complex Language
Psycoloquy 11 (082)
http://www.cogsci.soton.ac.uk/cgi/psyc/newpsy?11.082
ABSTRACT: Some puzzling characteristics of grammar, such as the
sentence/NP distinction and the organization of inflection classes,
may provide clues about its prehistory. When bipedalism led to
changes in the vocal tract that favoured syllabically organized
vocalization, this made possible an increase in vocabulary which in
turn rendered advantageous a reliable syntax, whose source was the
neural mechanism for controlling syllable structure. Several
features of syntax make sense as byproducts of characteristics of
the syllable (for example, grammatical 'subjects' may be byproducts
of onset margins). This scenario is consistent with evidence from
biological anthropology, ape language studies, and brain
neurophysiology.

research results and practical development experiences among
researchers and application developers from different data mining
related areas such as machine learning, automated scientific
discovery, statistics, pattern recognition, knowledge acquisition,
soft computing, databases and data warehousing, data visualization,
and knowledge-based systems. The conference seeks solutions to
challenging problems facing the development of data mining systems,
and shapes future directions of research by promoting high quality,
novel and daring research findings. As an important part of the
conference, the workshops program will focus on new research
challenges and initiatives.
Topics of Interest

Topics related to the design, analysis and implementation of data
mining theory, systems and applications are of interest. These
include, but are not limited to the following areas:
- Foundations and principles of data mining
- Data mining algorithms and methods in traditional areas (such as
classification, clustering, probabilistic modeling, and
association analysis), and in new areas
- Data and knowledge representation for data mining
- Modeling of structured, textual, temporal, spatial, multimedia and
Web data to support data mining
- Complexity, efficiency, and scalability issues in data mining
- Data pre-processing, data reduction, feature selection and feature
