    EVOLUTION OF LANGUAGE - A COMPUTER MODELLING PROJECT

    Advance Warning

    The Sheffield Evolution of Language Group (SELG) has *applied* for a studentship to be held between the University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University. The title of this *proposed* studentship is:

    Modelling the evolution of human language using evolutionary computing techniques.

    The ultimate objective of this programme is to provide researchers with a set of experimental tools to model specific theories of language evolution. The initial objective is to develop a communicative protoform, a basic system with as few constraints as possible, upon which the SELG team can build. SELG are looking for a PhD student to work on this.

    SELG are interested in graduates with a background in linguistics, AI or other cognate disciplines who are computer literate. A knowledge of the major theories of language and its evolution is also required.

    It must be stressed that SELG have *not been awarded a studentship yet*. However, *if SELG are successful* in the competition the turn around time will be very tight, hence this flyer. If anyone is interested in this project and wants more details please contact:

    Rick Osborn, MA, MSc, CerEd School of Computing and Management Sciences Sheffield Hallam University City Campus Pond Street Sheffield S1 1WB
