Special Session on “Modeling the Evolution and Acquisition of Language”

Call for Papers

Scope of Special Session:

This special session has the scope of providing a forum for the presentation of the latest models and finding on language evolution and acquisition models and the discussion and identification of the most promising future research directions. The special session invites submissions in any of the following areas:

Neural network models of language evolution and acquisition
Biological evolution of communication and language
Cultural evolution of language
Robotics and agent models of linguistic interaction
Cognitive models of pre-linguistic abilities (imitation, attention, categorization etc.)
Emergence of language
Models of animal communication
Interaction between language and cognition
Action models of language
Grounding of language
Evolutionary computation applications to language studies

Submission

All special session papers must be submitted through the WCCI submission webpage, where Instructions for Authors are also available.
