Meeting Description:

Every human community discovered on the planet so far uses language. No other
natural communication system of equivalent representational or expressive
power exists in the entire animal kingdom. This workshop asks, “How does a
human language get its start from scratch in the absence of a conventionalized
linguistic model and gain its expressive power?”, and ''What is the role of
the individual’s mind, and what is the role of having a sustained language
community in the process of language emergence and evolution?” Languages can
be analyzed as formal systems and as functional systems. These different
lenses sometimes yield divergent answers to the central questions above, and
disciplinary self-segregation sometimes limits the discoveries that might
derive from increased cross-talk between perspectives. Accordingly, this
workshop aims to bring together researchers from cognitive science,
linguistics, psychology, philosophy, anthropology, and related disciplines
with the aim of integrating findings and insights from diverse perspectives
concerning the contributions of cognitive and cultural factors to the initial
stages of language emergence among modern humans. We welcome abstracts on any
of (but not limited to) the following topics: language emergence and change,
protolanguage, homesign, emerging sign languages, artificial language,
iterated learning, language and cognition, evolution of semiotic systems
(biological, cultural, or simulated), and gesture in primates (human and
non-human).


Call for Papers: 

We invite abstracts for oral and/or poster presentations of one-page length
(500 words max.), an additional page for supplementary material, figures and
references is allowed. Anonymized abstracts must be submitted in PDF (Times
12pt, single spaced, 2.5cm or 1-inch margins on all sides) to
ccile2020 at gmail.com.
