Exploring the past, present and future of language
The Swiss National Centre of Competence in Research ‘Evolving Language’ investigates the evolutionary origins and future development of linguistic communication, bringing together research groups from the humanities, linguistics and computer science, the social sciences and the natural sciences.
The Swiss National Center of Competence in Research “Evolving Language” is a nationwide interdisciplinary research consortium bringing together research groups from the humanities, linguistics, computer science, the social sciences, and the natural sciences at an unprecedented level. Together, we aim at solving one of humanity’s greatest mysteries: What is language? How did humans develop the capacity for linguistic expression, for processing language in the brain, and for consistently passing down new variations to the next generation? How will our capacity for language change in the face of digital communication and neuroengineering?
