Sicily Evolution of Language Summer School
(including Atelier on Modeling Language Evolution with Computational Construction Grammar)
Dates: 14-19 July
Place: Erice, Sicily (Italy)
The question of the origins and evolution of language is receiving growing attention in all disciplines that are interested in language, from linguistics and neurobiology to computer science and physics. This Summer School, held in Erice (Sicily) from 14-19 July 2007 and organized by Luc Steels and Vittorio Loreto, surveys the research on language evolution from the viewpoint of complex systems science, linguistics and computational linguistics.
The main school (http://pil.phys.uniroma1.it/erice2007/index.html) brings together 30 lecturers, with linguists including:
- Benjamin Bergen;
- Bill Croft;
- Bruno Galantucci;
- Susan Goldin-Meadow;
- Jean-Marie Hombert;
- Jim Hurford;
- Luc Steels;
- Laura Michaelis;
- Bill Wang.
There is also a specialized atelier (http://www.csl.sony.fr/erice2007/) on using computational construction grammar for modeling language evolution with exercises and hands-on experience.
Pre-registration is required before April 1, 2007. Please check the registration page on the School website for more details.
