EVOLANG WORKSHOP CALL FOR PAPERS
http://kyoto.evolang.org/content/workshops

We invite submissions of abstracts to the following four workshops scheduled for the first day of 9th International Conference on the Evolution of Language (EVOLANG9) to be held 13-16 March, 2012, in Kyoto, Japan:

-Language and Brain
-Emotion and Language
-Animal Communication and Language Evolution
-Constructive Approaches to Language Evolution

Further details and descriptions of these workshops are available here.

In preparing abstracts for submission, please follow the standard EVOLANG stylesheets for 2-page Abstract type submissions. The relevant stylesheets are available here. Please note that the Constructive Approaches to Language Evolution workshop is somewhat flexible and allows submissions of papers between 2-10 pages (These too should be formatted according to the standard EVOLANG stylesheets). 

Abstracts should be submitted directly to the contact address of the relevant workshop listed on the workshop descriptions page. Please note that the Theoretical Linguistics/Biolinguistics workshop is by invitation only and will not be accepting abstracts. The other four workshops will select 4-8 submitted papers for oral presentation. The abstracts of selected talks will not be included in the main conference proceedings, but will be included in a separate workshop booklet distributed to conference participants and made available for download on the conference website.

The conference will be offering limited financial support to help student authors attend the conference to present their own work. This applies equally to students accepted to give presentations as part of the main conference or workshops. Please see the conference website for further details. 

For further details please see the workshop page of the conference website or contact the organizer of the relevant workshop directly.

Evolang9 and Protolang2

4/25/2010

Two somewhat informal announcements following the conclusion of Evolang8 last week.

Firstly, Evolang9 will be held at Kyoto University in Kyoto, Japan in 2012. Although dates are not yet confirmed, it is tentatively set to run from the 13th to 16th of March. Further details will be posted here as they are announced.

Secondly, it was also announced that a sequel to last years Ways to Protolanguage will be held in September 2011, again in Toruń, Poland. Protolang2 aims to be a highly multidisciplinary event featuring work on all aspects of early human language evolution and if it is anything like last years event, it will be well worth attending. Details will be announced at a future date.

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.
