Conversations in animal communication

Conference organized by Pritty Patel-Grosz, professor of linguistics and director of the Super Linguistics Research Group at the University of Oslo, Paris IAS Fellow, Philippe Schlenker, Directeur de Recherche, ENS-PSL, & Global Distinguished Professor, New York University, Emmanuel Chemla, LSCP (ENS - EHESS - CNRS), Département d’Etudes Cognitives, ENS-PSL

The goal of this event is to foster collaboration and create a space for informal but intense dialogue amongst local researchers from Paris and the surrounding area, and international researchers who are working in ethology and (animal) linguistics.

Invited speakers will present a puzzle of their choice from their field, where they think input from their other field would be beneficial.
