This week, we’ll also have an LEC talk in our usual slot: 11-12.30 Tuesday in 1.17 DSB. Nic Fay will be giving the second part of a talk about his work covering new directions and some of the plans for work he will be developing here.

The evolution of human communication systems

I’ll present evidence showing that communication systems evolve to be easily learnt and produced. I’ll also look at how particular models (i.e., those perceived to be be skilful, successful, prestigious or similar to oneself) bias the evolution of human communication systems. To end I’ll talk about our planned experiments that will investigate the emergence of linguistic structure.
