There’s a conference, the Joint Conference on Language Evolution, that goes by JCoLE and like, what’s next? 2nd Proceedings of the Association for Computational linguistics (2Pac)? Belgian International Gathering on German and Indo-European (BIGGIE)? History of Variation?

. Dani Burgess talks about "Does a Communicative Context Produce a Preference for Early Negation? An Artificial Language Learning Study" #jcole2022 evolang.org/jcole2022/proc…

Danielle Burgess investigates the negation first principle, an interesting typological pattern. #jcole2022
