DESCRIPTION:Recently, the subject of language evol
 ution has received more and more interest in almos
 t all fields related to language: from anthropolog
 y and cognitive psychology to linguistics and neur
 obiology. A very original approach to the subject 
 is through experimentation with robots. Considerin
 g the present state of research on Artificial Inte
 lligence it is possible, in principle, to program 
 autonomous (even humanoid) robots in such a way th
 at they independently create a communication syste
 m grounded in their perceptual experience of the w
 orld.    Monday the 11th of June, the NVP presents
  a masterclass in which both this approach and mor
 e classicical experiments with people are discusse
 d. The masterclass will be of interest to PhD stud
 ents in a broad range of fields. Motivated master 
 students are also welcome. There will be opportuni
 ty to present your ideas on the subject and receiv
 e individual feedback.   Participation is limited 
 to 30 participants, so be quick to register. For m
 ore information, see http://www.psychonomie.nl/nvp
