22 April 2008, DGFIL

The Drinking Group on Fundamental Issues in Linguistics (DGFIL) is aimed to facilitate informal discussion of fundational issues in linguistics between linguists with different views and approaches. Different topics are covered in series: the last one was about language evolution, and the ongoing one is on the modular status of language within cognition, as well as potential modules within language.

The current meeting is on Elizabeth Bates' "Modularity, Domain Specificity and the Development of Language". available at http://users.ecs.soton.ac.uk/harnad/Papers/Py104/bates-1994.html. For more information, please contact b.arsenijevic at uva.nl
