Linguistic Field(s): Linguistic Theories
Meeting Description:
The purpose of this conference is to discuss the properties of grammar and
variation from a biolinguistic perspective, bringing together biologists,
neuroscientists, and linguists, for three days of conference. The conference
aims at exploring further the factors that according to Chomsky (2006)
contribute to the growth of language in the individual, the genetic endowment,
experience, and language independent principles of efficient computation,
focusing on the factors contributing to language evolution and variation.
