MEGHÍVÓ
A Debreceni Egyetem Magyar Nyelvtudományi Tanszékének közel múltban alakult Társas-Kognitív Nyelvészeti Kutatócsoportja bemutatkozó előadássorozatot indít Bevezetés a társas-kognitív nyelvészetbe címmel.
Mivel a társas-kognitív nyelvészet a kognitív tudományok, a pszichológia, a neurológia, az etológia (biológia), a nyelv eredetének kutatása, a filozófia, a kommunikációkutatás, beszédtechnológia, mesterségesintelligencia-kutatás eredményeit is hasznosítja, hasznosítani szeretné (és szándékaink szerint ez fordított irányban is igaz: a társas-kognitív nyelvészet hamarosan megszülető eredményeit a felsorolt tudomány területek művelői is eredményesen használhatják), előadásaink a nem nyelvészek érdeklődésére is számot tarthatnak.
Kérem, amennyiben önök is így ítélik meg, juttassák el a csatolt fájlban olvasható meghívónkat érdeklődő kollégáikhoz, doktoranduszaikhoz és hallgatóikhoz.
Üdvözlettel,
Kis Tamás

*EARLY WORD LEARNING: LINKING INFANTS' LINGUISTIC AND CONCEPTUAL ADVANCES
*
Abstract: Word learning stands at the cross-road between linguistic and
conceptual organization. To learn the meaning of a word, infants must set
their sights in two distinct directions. Facing the conceptual domain, they
must form core concepts to capture the various relations among the objects
and events that they encounter. Facing the linguistic domain, they must cull
words and phrases from the melody of the human language in which they are
immersed. Decades of research have revealed that even before they begin to
speak, infants’ advances in each of these domains are powerfully linked. I
will review this evidence, focusing first on infants on the threshold of
word learning and then moving on present new evidence from infants as young
as 3- and 4-months of age.

Subject: [PhilPhys] Lakatos Award 2010 Announcement of Winner; Lakatos Award
2011 Call for Nominations
Date: Thursday, January 13, 2011
From: S.Burri(a)lse.ac.uk
To: philphys(a)phil.elte.hu
The London School of Economics and Political Science announces that this
year's Lakatos Award, of £10,000 for an outstanding contribution
to the philosophy of science, goes to: Peter Godfrey-Smith (Harvard
University), for his book Darwinian Populations and Natural Selection
(Oxford University Press, 2009). He will visit LSE to receive the Award and
give the Award Public Lecture during summer term, 2011.
The book develops a new analysis and extension of Darwin's idea of natural
selection - one that draws on new developments in philosophy of
science, biology and other fields. The central concept involved is that of a
"Darwinian population," a collection of things with the capacity to undergo
change by natural selection. From this starting point, new analyses of the
role of genes in evolution, the application of Darwinian ideas to cultural
change, and "evolutionary transitions" that produce complex organisms and
societies are developed.
The Lakatos Award is given for an outstanding contribution to the philosophy
of science, widely interpreted, in the form of a book
published in English during the previous five years. It was made possible by a
generous endowment from the Latsis Foundation. The
Award is in memory of the former LSE professor, Imre Lakatos, and is
administered by an international Management Committee organised from
the LSE. The Committee, chaired by John Worrall, decides the outcome of the
Award competition on the advice of an international,
independent and anonymous panel of Selectors.
Nominations can now be made for the 2011 Lakatos Award, and must be received
by Friday 22nd April 2011. The 2011 Award will be for a book
published in English with an imprint from 2006-2011 inclusive. A book may,
with the permission of the author, be nominated by any person of
recognised standing within the profession. For further details of the
nomination procedure or more information on the Lakatos Award 2011,
contact the Administrator, Susanne Burri on + 44 (0) 78 389 48225, or email

The CEU Department of Philosophy cordially invites you to a talk
(as part of its Departmental Colloquium series)
by
Csaba Olay (ELTE)
on
'Hannah Arendt's Political Existentialism'
Tuesday, 18 January, 2011, 4.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412
ABSTRACT
In my talk I regard Arendt’s political philosophy as one grounded
basically on a conception of human life and existence. The point is not
only that each political philosophy presupposes some ideas about the
nature of human beings, on the base of which the tasks and possible
means of politics could be specified. In Arendt’s thought there is a
closer connection between human existence and politics, insofar as the
meaning of politics is to give room for human existence to grasp itself.
To live an individual human life contains inevitably the task of
understanding oneself, and this can happen only under public conditions
that are, according to Arendt, at the same time political conditions.
Consequently, her theory is not a proposal to define the political tasks
as distinct from others, but rather to search the meaning of public
activities and the meaning of action within the context of human life.
This specific approach is expressed by the characterization „political
existentialism” for Arendt’s work, and the term should underline the
fact that she interprets politics in terms of other factors as well.
