the study of language in a contemporary interdisciplinary dialogue
(involving linguistics, psychology, philosophy, anthropology, semiotics
and other related fields), and to promote a better integration of
cognitive and cultural perspectives in empirical and theoretical studies
of language.

to:
•      biological and cultural co-evolution
•      comparative study of communication systems
•      cognitive and cultural schematization in language
•      emergence of language in ontogeny and phylogeny
•      language in social interaction and multi-modal communication
