SUMMARY:Louis-Jean Boë GIPSA-lab\, UGA–CNRS\, Grenoble
DESCRIPTION:The Dawn of Speech is Older Than We Thought \n \nThe production of speech repurposes an entire set of anatomical features that are primarily used for vital functions: breathing\, sucking\, chewing and swallowing.  Hypotheses about the dawn of speech try to determine the period during which our ancestors began to produce\, by exaptation\, differentiated vocalizations associated with different social relationships. Anatomical and acoustic analyses of baboon vocalizations tend to show that the sounds themselves and the articulatory gestures that produce them are comparable to those of human vowels. If we interpret these vocalizations as audio fossils\, the beginnings of speech would date back more than 20 million years\, to the period when our ape ancestors separated from old world monkeys. The recent work that underlies this hypothesis invalidates a long controversy that motivated several multidisciplinary teams. By breaking the anatomical lock that claimed to restrict production of non-human primates’ vocalizations\, they have opened the doors to many avenues of research that had previously seemed blocked. \nL.J.

SUMMARY:Cerebral Processing of Voice Information: From Monkeys to Deep Learning
DESCRIPTION:Pascal Belin\, Institut de Neurosciences de La Timone\, CNRS & Aix-Marseille Université\, France \n————————— \nHow do we extract and process the treasure-trove of information in voices? Experiments involving techniques ranging from monkey neuroimaging to deep learning provide an increasingly detailed picture of the ‘vocal brain’ and its evolution in primates. Results suggest an organization in several ‘voice patches’ analogous to that of the face patch system.

SUMMARY:What we learn and when we learn it:  the interaction of maturation and experience in music and language
DESCRIPTION:What we learn and when we learn it: the interaction of maturation and experience in music and language \nVirginia Penhune\nDepartment of Psychology\, Concordia University\nLaboratory for Motor Control and Neural Plasticity\nhttps://www.concordia.ca/artsci/psychology/research/penhune-lab.html \nThe impact of training or experience is not the same at all points in development. Children who learn to play a musical instrument or speak a second language early in life are often more proficient as adults. In the domain of music\, a wealth of anecdotal evidence suggests that early training is important for musical skill\, however\, there has been little evidence directly demonstrating the impact of the age of start. To address this question\, work in my laboratory has compared behavior and brain structure in early- (<7) and late-trained ( >7) adult and child musicians\, showing differences in behavior and brain structure. More recently\, we have compared early- and late-trained musicians with simultaneous and sequential bilinguals\, showing differential effects of age-of-start in the arcuate fasciculus. I will discuss these findings in the context of our understanding of the interaction between normative development and specific experience\, and describe a model of gene-environment interactions that integrates the contribution of age of start.

SUMMARY:Using Data Science to Study Children's Cognitive Development
DESCRIPTION:“Using Data Science to Study Children’s Cognitive Development” Abdellah Fourtassi \nFollowing the seminal work of Piaget\, the traditional approach in cognitive development has focused on studying the structure of children’s knowledge in controlled situations (e.g.\, laboratory experiments). While this approach allows for precise inference about how children behave in certain tasks\, it cannot provide an understanding of the social context within which knowledge emerges. In fact\, it has been known\, at least since Vygotsky\, that children acquire new skills and concepts with the help of more competent members of society who scaffold the children’s learning\, allowing them to attain skills that are just beyond their current abilities. In fact\, much of the children’s abstract knowledge about the world\, it has been argued\, is mediated through discussions with their parents/caregivers. \nIn this talk\, I explain how new advances in Data Science\, especially in Natural Language Processing (NLP)\, allow us to 1) account for what and how information is presented to children by their parents through language\, and 2) make precise predictions about the way this information can be used by children in controlled designs. Thus\, NLP can create a fruitful synergy between controlled and naturalistic research methods. More generally\, I argue that a complete theory of cognitive development requires interdisciplinary research across computer science and psychology.

SUMMARY:Musicians at the cocktail party: Neural correlates of bottom-up and top down mechanisms
DESCRIPTION:“Musicians at the cocktail party: Neural correlates of bottom-up and top down mechanisms” \nRobert Zatorre\nMontreal Neurological Institute\nMcGill University \nSegregating sound mixtures makes demands on multiple cognitive and neural mechanisms that musical training may enhance or exploit. In a series of studies we have documented the music-related enhancement behaviorally in the context of speech in noise\, and also in a selective attention context with competing speech streams. Using functional MRI\, we observed that musicians’ enhanced speech-in-noise perception was associated with better decoding of speech in auditory areas at high signal-to-noise ratios (SNR)\, whereas under low SNR conditions the enhancement was associated with decoding in frontal and motor cortical regions. We interpret this finding as indicating a shift from bottom-up to top-down mechanisms depending on the quality of the input\, with musicians being better able to deploy either mechanism as a function of the conditions. We then used MEG to look at the neural representation of competing speech streams via decoding of the neural signature (amplitude envelope) of attended vs unattended items. The behavioral advantage associated with musical training was related to enhanced ability to represent both streams in auditory cortex\, consistent with their capacity to follow multiple sound streams in music. These cognitive neuroscience approaches help us to develop better models to explain why musicians are good at cocktail parties (apart from their reputed drinking abilities).

SUMMARY:Prospects for Collaborative Research between Latin Palaeography\, Cognitive Psychology and the Neurosciences
DESCRIPTION:Prospects for Collaborative Research between Latin Palaeography\, Cognitive Psychology and the Neurosciences \nTwenty years ago\, Brian Stock\, the distinguished Canadian historian of medieval literature and philosophy\, published Augustine the Reader\, a seminal resource for examining the patristic vocabulary for reading in the fifth century C.E.  The Latin verbs videre and inspicere came to be closely associated with\, and in some instances synonyms for the act of reading.  A survey of surviving manuscripts of the fifth and sixth century reveals remarkable dissimilarities between them and the papyri of the classical age of Cicero and Quintilian.  Codices\, not scrolls\, they incorporated patterns of space\, signs (notae)\, ink color (red and eventually blue\, green and yellow) and numerical annotations that facilitated the disambiguation of text and the extraction of meaning.  Changes in the patterns of inserted intra-textual space\, beginning with the cola et commata format perfected by Jerome for the Vulgate Bible\, are especially worthy of note.  These spatial innovations led to the aerated text format\, normal in the ninth century\, that I have described in Space Between Words. Speaking as a humanist who admires the “hard sciences”\, it appears to me that innovations in the neurosciences over the past two decades\, notably the ready availability of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)\, offers the possibility of developing experiments for scientifically analyzing in precise terms the impact of the evolving graphic innovations that from the fifth to the twefth centuries came to support the modern practice of silent reading.  My question today is: Is it now possible to formulate laboratory experiments capable of casting light on the psychological and neurological implications of the evolution of the Latin page that transpired between Antiquity and the central Middle Ages?  And if so\, what are the implications for analyzing the text format of Western European vernacular languages such as Irish and Old English? \n  \nPaul Saenger \nCurator of Rare Books emeritus\, The Newberry Library\, Chicago

SUMMARY:Brains in Harmony: the role of brain-to-brain synchrony in naturalistic social interactions
DESCRIPTION:Brains in Harmony: the role of brain-to-brain synchrony in naturalistic social interactions \nNeuroscience research has produced tremendous insight into how the human brain supports dynamic social interactions. Still\, laboratory-generated findings do not always straightforwardly generalize to real-world environments. To fill this gap\, I collaborate with scientists\, artists\, and educators to take neuroscience out of the laboratory\, into schools\, museums\, and underserved neighborhoods. We consistently find a relationship between brain-to-brain synchrony and successful social interaction. For example\, empathy\, joint action\, and social motivation predicts synchrony in dyadic interactions\, and synchrony among high schoolers is related to classroom social dynamics and student engagement. Taken together\, our multidisciplinary approach may provide a potential new avenue to investigate social interactions outside of the laboratory. \n  \nSuzanne Dikker (New York University Department of Psychology USA)

SUMMARY:In search for the cognitive foundations of Euclidean geometry ............................................................................................................................................ Towards processing theories of conversation
DESCRIPTION:11h Dr. Véronique Izard (Integrative Neuroscience and Cognition Center\, CNRS & Université Paris Descartes) : In search for the cognitive foundations of Euclidean geometry \n12h Prof. Antje S. Meyer (Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics\, Nijmegen The Netherlands)  : Towards processing theories of conversation \n\n13h Lunch\nConfirm attendance (mandatory) by sending an email to lunchtalks@ilcb.fr\n\n  \nIn search for the cognitive foundations of Euclidean geometry \nEuclidean geometry has been historically regarded as the most “natural” geometry. Taking inspiration from the flourishing field of numerical cognition\, in the past years I have been looking for the cognitive foundations of geometry: Do children\, infants\, and people without formal education in geometry have access to intuitive concepts that bear some of the content of Euclidean concepts? Results have been mixed. In particular\, we found that angle\, a central tenant of Euclidean geometry\, is not intuitive for children. These results call into question the status of Euclidean geometry as a natural geometry. \n  \nTowards processing theories of conversation \nMost experimental research into spoken language has focused either on speaking or on listening.  However\, these processes should also be studied together\, not only because they naturally co-occur in conversation and likely affect each other\, but also because an integrated research approach can lead to novel insights into the architecture of the cognitive system supporting language use. I will provide an overview of a research program on speaking and listening in dyadic contexts. The starting point is the model of turn-taking in conversation proposed by Levinson and Torreira (2015). Though based exclusively on observational data the model makes strong processing predictions. A key claim is that speakers begin to plan their utterances as early as possible during their interlocutor’s turn\, in order to be prepared to respond quickly. Experimental evidence showed that speakers indeed begin to plan their utterances before the end of the preceding turn but\, contrary to the prediction\, not necessarily as early as possible. Rather than following a fixed rule (“plan as early as possible”) they appear to be quite flexible in their utterance planning. Current work aims at uncovering the factors that limit this flexibility. It appears that\, in addition to social and pragmatic factors that define the speaker’s processing goals\, capacity limitations arising in different components of the cognitive system play an important role. I will end by discussing how speakers might achieve smooth turn-taking without intensive linguistic dual-tasking.

SUMMARY:Understanding publication practices\, (models and time-courses) across disciplines to improve the impact of your inter-disciplinary research
DESCRIPTION:An inter-disciplinary discussion at ILCB\nIn our modern science practices\, it would not be surprising to hear that the three most important assets for a scientist are… publication\, publication\, publication! \nBut what exactly is a publication? The answer to this question could be very different across disciplines\, and many of its significant aspects are evolving. \nAcross disciplines\, the increment of knowledge is conceived and packaged in diverse formats (working papers\, proceedings\, monographies\, articles\, etc.) which are attributed vastly diverse value. \nAcross disciplines\, the relationship between the author\, the reviewers and the publishers can be vastly different. The business models of scientific publication have experienced major innovations in recent times\, and presumably more changes lie ahead. \nAcross disciplines\, the course of conception\, dissemination\, and archiving of a scientific contribution are practiced quite differently. The public discussion of findings can precede or follow publication. In some disciplines\, the predictions preceding an empirical study can now be archived in advance as pre-registrations\, which can be referred to later to clarify whether the authors observed exactly what they predicted or predicted exactly what they observed\, thus strengthening the impact of the contributions. \nThe inter-disciplinary “Institut Convergences ILCB” (Institute for Language\, Communication\, and the Brain) organizes a scientific discussion about current publication practices across disciplines. The issues above and related topics will be discussed by 4 specialist speakers. \nThis scientific discussion will have two goals. First\, to create common knowledge\, across practitioners of different disciplines\, of what their collaborators in other domains consider a scientific contribution. Second\, to reflect upon and hopefully improve the publication strategies of researchers. \nSchedule\n11h00 – 11h10: Motivations for this seminar by F.-Xavier Alario\, P. Blache\, E. Runnqvist (ILCB) \n11h10 – 11h50: Peer review across disciplines: from mutual ignorance to standards setting? by Didier Torny (Mines ParisTech – Paris) \n11h50 – 12h30: Registered Reports: A vaccine against bias in science and publishing by Chris Chambers (Cardiff University\, Editor of the journal Cortex) \n12h30 – 13h30: Lunch on site \n13h30 – 13h40: An insight into the publishing models in the Humanities and Social Sciences by  Sandra Guigonis (OpenEdition\, Centre pour l’édition electronique ouverte) \n13h40 – 14h20: Researchers regain control of their means of publication by Marie Farge (Ecole Normale Supérieure\, Paris) \n14h20 – 14h50: Round table (30 debate) \n14h50 – end:     Coffee\, discussions\, etc. \nAbstracts in the next page\nDidier Torny\, Peer review across disciplines: from mutual ignorance to standards setting? \nPeer review is often claimed as  the only way to provide certified knowledge to scientific communities and various audiences. However\, this very recent label includes a multitude of different\, even contradictory\, practices\, devices\, values. Interdisciplinary research\, and the existence large publishing groups around the world have first created unexpected meetings between once unique forms of evaluation and publication\, then some actors have tried to unify practices through different channels (guidelines\, technical infrastructure\, shared rules). The presentation will illustrate some contemporary examples of this rich history\, including questions of the anonymity of authors and reviewers and the introduction of post-publication peer review in journals. \n  \nChris Chambers\, Registered Reports: A vaccine against bias in science and publishing \nIn 2013\, Cortex became the first journal to offer Registered Reports\, a format of preregistered empirical publication in which peer review happens prior to data collection and analysis (see https://cos.io/rr/). The aim of Registered Reports is to overcome publication bias and various forms of researcher bias (e.g. selective reporting of statistically significant results and hindsight bias)\, by performing peer review in part before studies commence. Publishability is then decided by the importance of the research question and quality of the methodology\, and never based on the results of hypothesis testing. In this talk I will introduce the concept of Registered Reports and provide an update on its progress at at Cortex and beyond\, including its uptake by more than 150 journals\, including outlets in the Nature group\, generalist journals including Royal Society Open Science\, and emerging clinical trial formats. I will also discuss early evidence of impacts on the field and emerging Registered Report funding models in which journals and funders simultaneously assess proposed protocols. Together with a wide range of allied initiatives\, Registered Reports are helping to reshape the life and social sciences to place theory\, transparency and reproducibility at the forefront. \n  \nSandra Guigonis\, An insight into the publishing models in the Humanities and Social Sciences \nOpenEdition is a comprehensive digital publishing infrastructure at the service of scientific information in the Humanities and Social Sciences. It provides the academic communities with four publishing and information platforms: OpenEdition Journals (504 journals)\, OpenEdition Books (6\,775 books)\, Hypotheses (2\,870 Research blogs) and Calenda (41\,094 announcements of international academic events). The portal is thus a space dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of research\, publishing tens of thousands of scientific documents that promote open access\, while respecting the economic equilibrium of publications. It benefits therefore from a comprehensive overview on the publishing models in the HSS\, be it traditional practices or emerging trends. \n  \nMarie Farge\, Researchers regain control of their means of publication \nThe scientific edition is currently owned by an oligopoly of a few publishers\, who consider it an exceptionally juicy market. Thus\, scientists have lost control of their publishing tools and have become “cash cows”\, forced to produce ever more and faster…. I will explain how the “Gold Open Access” model\, designed by these publishers to preserve their market\, undermines scientific creativity and the public finances that support research. I will show how the “Green Open Access” model and the “Diamond Open Access” model\, designed by researchers to disseminate their publications\, avoid these perverse effects. I will present as examples the platforms https:// dissem.in and https://www.centre-mersenne.org/. \n

SUMMARY:Competitive neurocognitive networks underlying learning and memory: from stress to brain stimulation by Dezso Nemeth
DESCRIPTION:by Prof Dr Dezso Nemeth \nAffiliation: \n\nCentre de Recherche en Neurosciences de Lyon\, Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1\nIMÉRA\, Aix-Marseille Université\nHungarian Academy of Sciences\, Budapest\n\nHuman learning depends on multiple cognitive systems related to dissociable brain structures. These systems interact not only in cooperative but sometimes competitive ways in optimizing performance. Previous studies showed that manipulations reducing the engagement of frontal lobe-mediated explicit\, attentional processes can lead to improved performance in striatum-related procedural learning. Here I present four studies in which we investigated the competitive relationship between implicit statistical learning and frontal lobe-mediated executive functions.  Our result shed light not only on the competitive nature of brain systems in cognitive processes\, such as language\, learning\, and memory but also could have important implications for developing new methods to improve human learning.

SUMMARY:ILCB Lunch-talk by Nuria Sebastian\, Ghislaine Dehaene
DESCRIPTION:10h00  Are human infants able to use symbols?\, Ghislaine Dehaene-Lambertz\n11h00  Coffee\n11h20  The onset of bilingualism: Specificities in the first year of life\, Nuria Sebastián Galles\n12h20  Discussion\n13h00  Lunch \n\nAre human infants able to use symbols?\nHuman adults commonly use symbolic systems (e.g. speech\, numbers\, writing code\, algebraic formula) to represent aspects of the external world\, and they easily and flexibly go from symbols to objects and vice-versa. This “symbolic mind” might be related to a distinct human neural architecture\, in particular\, the expansion of the associative areas and the development of new long-distance fiber tracts\, such as the arcuate fasciculus. More efficient connections to and from the frontal lobe and a longer memory buffer may lead to the discovery of more abstract structures\, and ultimately enable to represent the external world with a symbolic system. \nThis neural architecture is in place at full-term birth and brain imaging studies have revealed that higher-level associative regions\, such as frontal areas\, are involved in infant’s cognition from start. We may thus expect that infants might share the same symbolic competence than adults and that they can easily learn labels to represent classes of objects. To support this claim\, I will present brain imaging data showing the infants’ structural and functional brain architecture and ERP data obtained through a new paradigm as a first step to test symbolic representations in the infant brain. \nGhislaine Dehaene-Lambertz\, INSERM U992\, Neurospin\, Saclay (France) \nThe onset of bilingualism: Specificities in the first year of life\nHow different is the process of language learning in infants exposed to two languages from birth? It was not so long ago when the available evidence pointed to a delay in language learning in bilinguals. At present\, a bulk of studies indicates the existence of specific adaptations to the process of language learning. In the present talk I will focus on the emergence of such adaptations during the first months of life. \nNuria Sebastian\, University Pompeu Fabra-Center for Brain and Cognition Department (Barcelone)

SUMMARY:Information-oriented and cross-language aspects on speech and cortical rhythms by François Pellegrino
DESCRIPTION:Information-oriented and cross-language aspects on speech and cortical rhythms by François Pellegrino (CNRS & Université de Lyon\, Dynamics of Language Lab UMR5596) \nDuring the last two decades a growing body of evidence has shown a close relationship between temporal structure of speech and neural oscillatory activities\, especially in the theta and gamma bands. More specifically\, several recent models suggest that the neural capacity to track speech dynamics and rhythmic patterns is crucial for speech processing and understanding. However\, it is well known that speech periodicity is limited and thus that the story is probably more complex than acknowledged previously.\nIn this talk I present results of a cross-language comparison of 17 languages in terms of syllabic speech rate\, Shannonian information rate and of their shared tendency to very unevenly distribute information among their segments and syllables. These results are discussed in the light of cortical rhythms in the theta band and I introduce a (very) speculative hypothesis stating that there may be a functional distinction between syllables whose role is to convey information and syllables whose role is to provide a rhythmic carrier entraining neural oscillations.

SUMMARY:Les dysfonctionnements phonétiques et/ou phonémiques dans l’aphasie\, chez l’enfant et chez l’apprenant d’une langue seconde : Une tentative de simplification ? Erreurs\, Contraintes structurales et/ou Stratégies Palliatives by Jean-Luc Nespoulous
DESCRIPTION:Les dysfonctionnements phonétiques et/ou phonémiques dans l’aphasie\, chez l’enfant et chez l’apprenant d’une langue seconde : Une tentative de simplification ? Erreurs\, Contraintes structurales et/ou Stratégies Palliatives\nLa lésion cérébrale qui provoque une aphasie engendre certes ipso facto un déficit linguistique. Ce déficit ne se caractérise cependant pas\, dans la très grande majorité des cas\, chez ces patients\, par une « perte de compétence »\, comme l’avait cru R. Jakobson sur la base de données cliniques rapportées par d’autres (K. Goldstein et A.R. Luria\, en particulier) et très largement « sur-interprétées » par lui-même ! \nIl n’est qu’à voir\, pour s’en convaincre\, la variabilité des « erreurs » réalisées par un même patient (en situation de production de mots\, par exemple) pour constater que ses productions sont la résultante de problèmes de « performance » ou de « traitement »\, souvent comparables à ceux que peut connaître\, au quotidien quoique à un moindre degré\, tout locuteur non-aphasique (Cf. les travaux de V. Fromkin (1973)\, M. Garrett (1980).\nNous tenterons\, dans notre exposé\, de montrer en quoi les « erreurs » produites par les aphasiques – aux plans phonétique et phonémique –\, en dépit de leur variabilité intra-individuelle\, inter-tâches… – se trouvent néanmoins contraintes par les propriétés structurales de leur langue maternelle. \nJean-Luc Nespoulous \n(Professeur Emérite en Sciences du Langage Université de Toulouse Institut Universitaire de France)

SUMMARY:Aligning ears and mouths: the consequences of synchronizing heard and spoken language by David Poeppel
DESCRIPTION:12h Prof. David Poeppel\, Max-Planck-Institute Frankfurt &New York University\n•	13h Lunch\n•	Confirm attendance (mandatory) by sending an email to lunchtalks@ilcb.fr\n\n\nAligning ears and mouths: the consequences of synchronizing heard and spoken language\n\n\nThe brain has rhythms\, and so does speech. It is a fortuitous outcome of recent research that the temporal structure of speech and the temporal organization of various brain structures align in systematic ways. \n(One might ask\, of course: how could it have been otherwise?) \nThe role that oscillatory activity might play in perception and cognition continues to be elucidated through experiments of various types. \nAn empirical observation that is now well established is that the auditory system reliably ‘entrains’ to the temporal modulations of speech - although the underlying mechanisms and the functional relevance remain vigorously debated. \nHere I address the question of whether these widely discussed phenomena extend to the relation between perception and action. \nHow motor systems and perceptual systems interact has been a foundational question in psychology and neuroscience\, and on the basis of new behavioral and neural experiments on sensorimotor synchronization\, \nI will argue against my own previous positions and demonstrate an unanticipated and compelling role for synchronization of speech through the ears and speech through the mouth.

SUMMARY:Processing time with our auditory system by Christian Lorenzi
DESCRIPTION:•	12h Prof. Christian Lorenzi\, CNRS & Ecole normale supérieure\, Paris\, France\n\n\nProcessing time with our auditory system\n\nDebate on how speech information is represented in the auditory system has revolved around the role of two neural/perceptual features encoding the temporal modulations of the acoustic signal (the “temporal envelope”\, ENV\, and “temporal fine structure”\, TFS)\, their relative contribution to intelligibility and how that might be degraded by lesions to the peripheral and central auditory system.\n\nWe will review psychophysical studies that investigated the development of ENV/TFS perception\, the effects of cochlear and central lesions\, and the relationship between ENV/TFS perception and speech intelligibility.\n\nOur results suggest that: i) the processing of ENV and TFS is “functional” by 6 months\, and fine-tuned by language exposure between 6 and 10 months\, ii) ENV is more important for speech identification\, whereas TFS is more important for the segregation of competing sound sources\, iii) reduced ability to process ENV and/or TFS explains deficits typically associated with cochlear and central damage and ageing.\n\n*References: *\n\nShamma\, S.\, & Lorenzi\, C.

SUMMARY:The computational neuroanatomy of speech production in the context of a dual stream framework for language by Greg Hickok
DESCRIPTION:The computational neuroanatomy of speech production in the context of a dual stream framework for language by Greg Hickok (Dept. Cognitive Sciences & Language Science – University of California Irvine) \nThe dual stream framework for the cortical organization of language is grounded in evolutionary biology in that it proposes an organization that is homologous to that found in non-linguistic sensorimotor systems from which it is hypothesized to have evolved. While it was controversial when first proposed in the early 2000s\, a substantial body of evidence now supports the basic claims. Significant progress has been made in working out the functional anatomy of the model\, particularly the dorsal auditory-motor pathway\, which will be the primary focus of this talk. I will provide a brief overview of the dual stream framework\, show how well-established psycholinguistic models of speech production are neatly relatable to it\, and then detail a decade of progress in understanding the neuroanatomy and some computational details of dorsal stream function. A major conclusion is that the integration of psycholinguistic and motor control models of speech production represents a promising new direction for research on the neurobiology of speech and language progressing\, including its evolutionary origins.

SUMMARY:Dendrophilia and the Biology of Language by Tecumseh Fitch
DESCRIPTION:Dendrophilia and the Biology of Language : Phonological Continuity and Syntactic Discontinuity by Tecumseh Fitch (Dept. of Cognitive Biology\, Faculty of Life Science – University of Vienna)\nAn understanding of both the neural mechanisms involved in language\, and their evolutionary history\, requires incisive comparisons between humans and nonhuman animals. Ideally\, such comparisons are grounded in an explicit\, computational framework encompassing both formal and neural components. I review work comparing humans with nonhuman primates\, other mammals\, and birds carried out in the last decades\, much of it using artificial grammar learning to explore the perception of phonology and syntax. This research suggests the following two hypotheses: First\, the phonological continuity hypothesis holds that sequential processing of syllables is supported by equivalent\, homologous mechanisms in humans and other animals. This set of mechanisms allows combination via concatenation\, and supports sequential processing at the finite-state (regular) computational level. Second\, the dendrophilia hypothesis suggests that humans are unusual in our ability to process complex hierarchical structures in multiple domains (language\, music\, etc). These hierarchical abilities require computational power at the supra-regular level (above finite state)\, and supports the abstract structures needed for phrasal syntax and semantics. I propose that these general hierarchical abilities are supported neurally by the great enlargement of Broca’s area in our species\, and the broadening of its connections to most of the parietal and temporal lobes. Broca’s region in humans acts as a domain-general “stack”\, an auxiliary memory supporting supra-regular computation in both language and music. \nTecumseh Fitch

SUMMARY:Three decades of structural priming research: implications for syntactic representation\, domain-specificity of syntax\, and multilingualism by Robert Hartsuiker
DESCRIPTION:Three decades of structural priming research: implications for syntactic representation\, domain-specificity of syntax\, and multilingualism\nAbout thirty years ago\, Kay Bock discovered structural priming\, the tendency for speakers and listeners to recycle syntactic structures they have recently encountered. A recent meta-analysis of 70 published papers (Mahowald et al.\, 2017) shows that structural priming (as well as its enhancement by lexical overlap between prime and target sentence) is highly robust. Here\, I look back at three decades of structural priming research\, with a particular emphasis on the theoretical implications for syntactic representation\, on the organization of the syntactic representations of multiples languages in multilinguals\, and on the question of whether structural processing is domain-specific or is shared with other cognitive domains\, such as music or math. I then look forward to an ongoing research line on the late acquisition of syntax in a second language. I will describe our account of this acquisition process\, according to which syntactic representations start out as separate for each language but merge as the learner’s proficiency increases\, and show the results of an artificial language learning study designed to test this account.\n\nPLEASE REMEMBER:\n\n-To plan for the lunch buffet\, attendance must be confirmed by sending an email to lunchtalks@ilcb.fr\n\nPlease let us know if you have any dietary restrictions (vegetarian\, allergies\, etc.).\n\n-Speaker suggestions (warmly encouraged) for September-June should be sent to lunchtalks@ilcb.fr\n\n12.00-13.00 Talk (Salle de conférences\, LPL) by Robert Hartsuiker (University of Ghent\, Belgium)
