primatologist by day ☀️ linguist by night ✨📚 I'm a PhD student @NCCR_Language @DeptCompLangSci @UZH_en studying compositionality in non-human primates 🐒

[Alexandra B. Bosshard @the_half_ling]

✨ My first PhD chapter published! 🌻✨
Out today in BEAS @SpringerNature
With @Mael_Lx, Nicholas A. Lester, @BalthasarBickel, @sabine_stoll and @SimonWTownsend on identifying non-random call combinations, termed call-ocations

New paper out now! 🥳Nonadjacent dependencies and sequential structure of chimpanzee action during a natural tool-use task: https://t.co/DGPiCojGGj

[Simon W. Townsend @SimonWTownsend]

New paper led by @the_half_ling providing further support that primate vocal sequences are structurally more complex than previously thought!

📰🐒Marmoset monkeys can combine their calls into sequences, with hierarchical rules! Learn more in the new #article on our website, based on the recently published research of @the_half_ling @SimonWTownsend & @BalthasarBickel @UZH_en ! In EN, FR and DE.

@MonkeyologistB Congratulations 🥳🥳

[NCCR Evolving Language @NCCR_Language]

Du bist Ü60 und möchtest mehr über die Entwicklung der Sprache erfahren? Die Senior:innen-Universität Zürich @UZH_ch bietet zwischen dem 22. März und dem 12. April einen Kurs an, der in Zusammenarbeit mit dem NFS Evolving Language durchgeführt wird!

Nice to see collocation analysis being extended to investigate non-random food combinations! Ping @the_half_ling @Mael_Lx!

Morning in the lab recording the stimuli for our Swiss German syntax-prosody project with @the_half_ling

[NCCR Evolving Language @NCCR_Language]

Our 4th #NCCRWomen of this week is @the_half_ling! She a PhD student @UZH_ch investigating the communication of non-human animals, trying to explore how animals talk to each other! @ISLE_uzh @DeptCompLangSci @snf_ch @NCCRWomen

[Silvan Spiess @BabblingBirds]

Check out my first ever paper in @IntJPrimatology🐦
Does an Australian bird produce syntax-like structures? W/ @SimonWTownsend @cheekybabbler @HelephantMylne @JosephMine95
In case you were wondering what a bird paper is doing in a primate journal, its part of a special issue. 🧵

[Alexandra B. Bosshard @the_half_ling]

Thanks for having me! Now we know what we'll do with a drunken sailor, who only thinks in Markov chains 😄⛵️

[NCCR Evolving Language @NCCR_Language]

Amazing talks for the 2nd day with NCCR authors @chiarabarbieri_ @kkshimizu1 @BalthasarBickel @the_half_ling @SimonWTownsend @PaolaMerlo20 @tamer_nicole @PaulWidmer2 @PietteTheophane

Join me today at 15.10 for my talk at #jcole2022 about the sequential dynamics in the vocal system of common marmosets. Spoiler alert: those guys are pretty cool.

[NCCR Evolving Language @NCCR_Language]

Looking forward to day 2 of #JCoLE2022 @JCoLE2022?! After a 1st day full of science (see pictures below), tomorrow will be also very intense for the NCCR community 👇[1/3] @DeptCompLangSci

[NCCR Evolving Language @NCCR_Language]

We look forward to next week's Joint Conference on #LanguageEvolution in Kanazawa @JCoLE2022! More than 20 NCCR members will participate in the event, and around 14 of them are currently flying to Japan. More about our participation: https://t.co/hSROof7fbB
