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.
