We are planning on organizing a semi-weekly Evolution Linguistics discussion/reading group based in Tokyo starting later in the year. Details have not yet been confirmed but it will likely be based at the Hongo Campus of the University of Tokyo and will cover topics ranging from the computational modeling of language emergence to Darwinian theories of language change and everything in between.

We invite anyone interested in attending to register on the events page and we will contact you as details are decided. Participation will be free and open to anyone with an interest in Language Evolution.
