<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><font face="Helvetica"><span style="line-height: 19.0px;">Topic Description</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 19.0px;font-family: Helvetica;">In september 1996, I gave a talk at the KLI on 'The origin of language' at a meeting on the 'emergence and evolution of organization' organized by Walter Fontana, Gerd Mueller, and Guenter Wagner. This incredibly interesting meeting was one of the first where I exposed a novel methodology for studying the origins of language, namely through experiments with artificial agents playing language games, and I laid out some radical ideas about the nature of language and its origins based on self-organization and selection. We are now 20 years later. What has happened since then? I</span><span style="line-height: 19.0px;font-family: Helvetica;"> </span><span style="line-height: 19.0px;font-family: Helvetica;">will show that a great deal has happened. We have solid results on all levels of language (speech, vocabulary, grammar) and the principles of evolutionary biology, which themselves have advanced a great deal since that time, have been a constant source of inspiration. Today we need to apply</span><span style="line-height: 19.0px;font-family: Helvetica;"> these insights to many more areas of grammar, push further the study of evolutionary semantics, and communicate better what has been found so far.</span></p>
