✨ 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 link.springer.com/article/10.100… 1/5

New paper out now! 🥳Nonadjacent dependencies and sequential structure of chimpanzee action during a natural tool-use task: peerj.com/articles/18484/

New paper led by @the_half_ling providing further support that primate vocal sequences are structurally more complex than previously thought! With @BalthasarBickel @EvoCogGroup @PaolaMerlo20 and Chundra Cathcart @NCCR_Language @snsf_ch @UZH_Science royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

📰🐒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. evolvinglanguage.ch/decoding-the-s…

This paper in @RSocPublishing was a long time in the making but so happy to see it out now! Huge congrats to @cheekybabbler for an incredible amount of work! w/@sotarokita @mandy_ridley @ChimpsAhoi @NCCR_Language @UZH_Science @ISLE_uzh @snsf_ch royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

@MonkeyologistB Congratulations 🥳🥳

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! seniorenuni.uzh.ch/de/services/Zu…

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

@ElodieFreymann @Gangryong @carvalhoprimate @NakedPrimate @BudongoChimps Congratulations! Super interesting work! 🥳🤩

Congrats to @NCCR_Language PhD student @the_half_ling for receiving an honourable mention for her talk on marmoset vocal sequences at #IPSKuching @BalthasarBickel @ISLE_uzh @EvoCogGroup @PaolaMerlo20

@the_half_ling presenting her @NCCR_Language PhD research on sequential dynamics in the marmoset vocal system #IPSKuching

@pintofscienceCH Don't miss today @the_half_ling @DeptCompLangSci @ISLE_uzh in St-Gallen, @PietteTheophane & @Kinkini15 @labgiraud @NeuroGeneva @NeuroLeman in Geneva, Lonneke van der Plas @Idiap_ch in Sion and tomorrow @AdrianSoldati @cog_comp_Neuch in Lugano!

New paper in @NatureComms 6 years in the making and led by the amazing @Mael_Lx Call combinations and compositional processing in wild chimpanzees @UZH_en @snsf_ch @ISLE_uzh @NCCR_Language nature.com/articles/s4146…

This is a huge honour and I am incredibly grateful to my group for nominating me in the first place! @Mael_Lx @BabblingBirds @the_half_ling @FranzisWegdell @JosephMine95 🎊🎉

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

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

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. 🧵

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

Amazing talks for the 2nd day with NCCR authors @chiarabarbieri_ @kkshimizu1 @BalthasarBickel @the_half_ling @SimonWTownsend @PaolaMerlo20 @tamer_nicole @PaulWidmer2 @PietteTheophane ... [1/2]

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_Language @DeptCompLangSci

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: evolvinglanguage.ch/joint-conferen… #JCoLE2022
