About Protolang:

The Protolang conference series creates an interdisciplinary platform for
scholarly discussion on the origins of symbolic communication distinctive of
human beings.

The thematic focus of Protolang is on delineating the genetic, anatomical,
neuro-cognitive, socio-cultural, semiotic, symbolic and ecological
requirements for evolving (proto)language. Sign use, tools, cooperative
breeding, pointing, vocalisation, intersubjectivity, bodily mimesis, planning
and navigation are among many examples of such possible factors through which
hominins have gained a degree of specificity that is not found in other forms
of animal communication and cognition.

We aim at identifying the proximate and ultimate causes as well as the
mechanisms by which these requirements evolved; evaluating the methodologies,
research tools and simulation techniques; and enabling extended and vigorous
exchange of ideas across disciplinary borders.

Organizers:

Protolang 6 is organized by the Applied Evolutionary Epistemology Lab and the
Primate Cognition Research Group of the Center for Philosophy of Science of
the Faculty of Science of the University of Lisbon; the William James Center
for Research of the University Institute of Psychological, Social and Life
Sciences; the Católica Research Center for Psychological, Family and Social
Well-Being of the Catholic University of Lisbon; and the Portuguese
Association for Archaeological Investigation. Protolang 6 is additionally
sponsored by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation; the Portuguese Foundation for
Science and Technology; FCiências.ID, the Association for the Investigation
and Development of the Sciences of the Faculty of Science of the University of
Lisbon; SEAC - the European Society for Astronomy in Culture; and the
Philosophy of Formal Sciences, Epistemology and Methodology division of the
Center for Philosophy of Science.
