Every semester, the Center for the Interdisciplinary Study of Language Evolution (ISLE) at the University of Zurich hosts a series of colloquium talks addressing questions on language evolution in the broad sense (evolution of the language faculty and evolution of languages).
The Center for the Interdisciplinary Study of Language Evolution (ISLE) takes a multi-disciplinary approach including language scientists, biologists, philosophers, and anthropologists, to name just a few of the various perspectives included. Talks are therefore geared towards a multi-disciplinary audience.
The Colloquium takes place on Tuesdays from 4.15 - 6 pm.
Please contact us if you would like to participate in the meeting or discuss any ISLE-related topic or ongoing study.
