Isabelle Dautriche (CLE, University of Edinburgh)<\/em><\/p>\n Tuesday, May 7 There are constraints on what a lexical element may denote: there is no word for \u2018cat or parrot\u2019, intuitively because this would lump together two \u201cseparate\u201d classes of objects. I will present you experiments that show that, even in non-linguistic settings, human and non-human animals tend to group objects into classes following a \u201cconnectedness constraint\u201d. This result suggests that the cognitive roots responsible for (at least some) regularities across the lexicons of human languages are present in a similar form in other species.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Some constraints on the lexicons of human languages have cognitive roots present in baboons Isabelle Dautriche (CLE, University of Edinburgh) Tuesday, May 7 11:00am-12:00pm DSB, room 1.17 There are constraints on what a lexical element may denote: there is no word for \u2018cat or parrot\u2019, intuitively because this would lump together two \u201cseparate\u201d classes of … Continue reading May 7: Isabelle Dautriche<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3164","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-talks"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cle.ppls.ed.ac.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3164","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cle.ppls.ed.ac.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cle.ppls.ed.ac.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cle.ppls.ed.ac.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cle.ppls.ed.ac.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3164"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cle.ppls.ed.ac.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3164\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3165,"href":"https:\/\/cle.ppls.ed.ac.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3164\/revisions\/3165"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cle.ppls.ed.ac.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3164"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cle.ppls.ed.ac.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3164"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cle.ppls.ed.ac.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3164"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
