Borrowing an idea used routinely in cognitive psychology, we argue that most of these alternatives can be subsumed under a single process, priming, in which input increases the activation of stored internal representations. Imitation itself has generally been seen as a "special faculty". This has diverted much research towards the all-or-none question of whether an animal can imitate, with disappointingly inconclusive results. In the great apes, however, voluntary, learned behaviour is hierarchically organized. This means that imitation can occur at various levels, of which we single out two clearly distinct ones: the "action level", a rather detailed and linear specification of sequential acts, and the "program level", a broader description of subroutine structure and the hierarchical layout of a behavioural "program". Program level imitation is a high-level, constructive mechanism, adapted for the efficient learning of complex skills and thus not very evident in the simple manipulations used to test for imitation in the laboratory. As examples, we describe the food-preparation techniques of wild mountain gorillas and the imitative behaviour of orangutans undergoing "rehabilitation" to the wild. Representing and manipulating relations between objects seems to be one basic building-block in their hierarchical programs. There is evidence that nonhuman great apes suffer from a stricter capacity limit than humans in the hierarchical depth of planning. We re-interpret some chimpanzee behaviour previously described as "emulation" and suggest that all great apes may be able to imitate at the program level. Action level imitation is seldom observed in great ape skill learning, and may have a largely social role, even in humans. -------------------------------------------------------------- To help you decide whether you would be an appropriate commentator for this article, an electronic draft is retrievable from the World Wide Web or by anonymous ftp or gopher from the US or UK BBS Archive.

Job: International PhD-program Utrecht Institute of Linguistics OTS

by Sieb Nooteboom

The Utrecht Institute of Linguistics OTS offers qualified PhD-students the possibility to obtain their doctorates in periods shorter than the normal 4-year program. The student wishing to be eligible for this reduced program should have a background in linguistics at least equivalent to MA level and will need to be able to demonstrate additional research qualifications in the forms of published material, experimental or technological expertise, or other such achievements. The UiL OTS research program as well as its graduate curriculum aims at thorough theoretical investigation of language and language use. The normal graduate program is a four year course with a linguistic training component (2 yrs.), and a research component (2 yrs.) to be completed with a dissertation. Students enrolling in the "Utrecht International PhD program" will be given a limited number of years to complete their PhD (2 or 3 yrs.), depending on their level of knowledge and experience. Linguistics in Utrecht includes all components of the language faculty, and the interfaces with perception and information processing. The focus is on both formal and developmental aspects of language. Moreover there is a strong interest in applications of linguistic knowledge in such fields as language and speech technology, lexicology and text organization. The following areas of theoretical research are represented in UiL OTS: Phonetics / Perception of sounds Prof. S. Nooteboom Phonology / Morphology Prof. W. Zonneveld Syntax / Semantics Prof. E.J. Reuland / Prof. H.J. Verkuyl Interfaces / Pragmatics Prof. T. Reinhart / Dr. A. Verhagen Discourse Theory Prof. P.J. van den Hoven / Prof. W. Herrlitz Language Change / Language Acquisition Dr. P. Coopmans / Dr. F. Weerman Computational Linguistics and Logic Prof. M. Moortgat / Prof. J. van Eijck With respect to research applying linguistic knowledge, the following areas can be discerned: Language and speech-technology Prof. J. Landsbergen Lexicology Prof. H. J. Verkuyl Text organization Prof. P.J. van den Hoven / Prof. C. Jansen Since courses and seminars will be in English, proficiency in the Dutch language is not required. On request, a Dutch language course will be offered. Tuition has been set at Dfl. 20.000,=. This includes full desk and travel facilities. For excellent students tuition may be partly or fully waived. In addition, each year a maximum of two grants is available to cover cost of living.

A marciusi rendkivuli kozgyulesen emlitettem: probalkozom vele, hogy Michael Nedot, a cambridge-i Wittgenstein Archivum igazgatojat megnyerjem arra, hogy egy-ket eloadas erejeig Budapestre latogasson. Mint a kovetkezo hirdetesbol is kiderul, ez sikerult is. Mint persze minden meghivasnal, itt is az alapveto kerdes a latogatas finanszirozasa. Egyfelol sikerult Michael Nedot ravenni arra, hogy annak erdekeben, hogy mi meghallgathassuk, o nyujtson be egy kethetes osztondijpalyazatot a brit es a magyar akademia egyuttmukodesi szerzodesenek kereteben. Sajnos, jobb otletem nem volt. Ugyhogy kernek mindenkit, amennyire lehet, igyekezzek reszt venni Nedo eloadasain - vegul is elegge kevesse konvencionalis, hogy maganak a meghivottnak kell faradoznia latogatasa anyagi alapjainak megteremtese erdekeben. (Nedo egyebkent eredendoen nemet anyanyelvu: termeszetesen 17 ev angliai tartozkodas utan pompasan beszel angolul, am megis megorzott annyit europai artikulaciojabol, hogy a kontinens lakoi szamara is ertheto maradjon.) Masfelol persze bizonyos egyeb koltsegek is egyuttjarnak egy ilyen meghivassal: ugyhogy ujfent kernek mindenkit, hogy amennyiben ez meg nem tortent volna meg, fizesse be ez evi, tovabbra is igen szerenynek mondhato tagdijat (200 Ft, hallgatoknak 100) - csekken (az erintetteknek postaztuk), vagy szemelyesen nalam vagy Olay Csabanal. Emellett kernem azokat, akik oktatoi minosegukben hallgatokkal talalkoznak - az ev eleje remek alkalom -, hogy hivjak fel a figyelmuket Nedo eloadasaira. Hogy Nedo munkassagaba minel tobben elozetes betekintest nyerhessenek, s igy a vele folytatando tarsalgasok gyumolcsozobbek lehessenek, irtam egy tanulmanyt is "Wittgenstein hagyateka es a Wittgenstein-kiadasok" cimmel, melyet a BUKSZ szerkesztosege igen elozekenyen 1997. nyari szamaban soron kivul le is hozott.

Abstracts will be reviewed anonymously and will be considered for both the general conference sessions and for a special session on The Lexical Basis of Syntactic Processing: Formal and Computational Issues. SPECIAL SESSION: Lexical influences on processing are currently a major focus of attention in research on sentence comprehension, yet much of the work remains isolated from investigations of the lexicon in other disciplines. The special session, The Lexical Basis of Syntactic Processing: Formal and Computational Issues, will examine current theories of lexical representation from a multidisciplinary perspective, relating the issues raised to current work on sentence comprehension. The focus of the session will be presentations by invited speakers from linguistics, computer science, and philosophy, with critical commentary and discussion from researchers within the sentence processing community. The special session will also include submitted papers and posters on the topic of the role of the lexicon in sentence processing. Abstracts that are considered for the special session will be evaluated both for the quality of the research and for the fit between the submitted abstract and the invited papers. SUBMISSION DEADLINES: For consideration in the spoken paper sessions: November 7, 1997. For consideration as a poster only: January 12, 1998 WHAT TO SUBMIT: Abstracts must be no more than 400 words in length, excluding references. At the top of the abstract, please include your name, email address, and indicate whether your abstract is to be considered for PAPER ONLY, POSTER ONLY, or PAPER OR POSTER. The last category means that you would be willing to present a poster if your abstract is not included in the spoken sessions but is accepted for one of the poster sessions. Please leave several blank lines between this information and your title and abstract, so that we may remove this information for anonymous abstract review. Abstracts submitted but not accepted for the paper sessions will automatically be included in the submissions for poster sessions, unless the abstract is marked PAPER ONLY. WHERE TO SUBMIT: We will accept email submissions only. Email your submissions to cuny(a)ruccs.rutgers.edu Please use "Abstract" as your subject header. If you are submitting more than one abstract, each must be separately emailed. You will receive an email acknowledgment for each abstract you submit. If you are unable to use email to submit your abstract, you must contact the organizers for instructions on submitting a PC-readable disk with the required information and abstract. CONFERENCE DATES AND LOCATION: The conference will be held on March 19-21, 1998, at the Hyatt Regency, New Brunswick, New Jersey, adjacent to the Rutgers University campus. The conference site is easily accessible by shuttle from the Newark and New York airports (Newark is preferable), and by train from New York or Philadelphia. Detailed hotel reservation and travel information will soon be available on the conference web site. For more information, see: http://ruccs.rutgers.edu/cuny98 E-mail questions to: cuny(a)ruccs.rutgers.edu Suzanne Stevenson CUNY98 Conference Organizer Dept of Computer Science, and Center for Cognitive Science Rutgers University ------- End of Blind-Carbon-Copy
