 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'This project aims at demonstrating the advantages of using dynamical systems framework to study language, and developing new methods to proceed in this study. The Marie Curie EIF Fellowship allowed this candidate to come back to the dynamical systems approach to psychology (the primary focus of work realized during her PhD). The project realized during the fellowship showed that the framework which treats linguistic forms as outcomes and constraints in several interacting dynamical systems (Pattee, 1987; Tabor & Hutchins, 2004; van Orden, et al., 2003) has clear advantages over frameworks which treat language as a formal system of symbols. The goal of the present project is to establish this approach to language as the main research framework of a research group at the Warsaw University’s Faculty of Psychology. On the experimental side this involves 1) empirical research demonstrating the importance of dynamics on various levels and time scales for explaining both language use and language emergence: linguistic innovations obtained in controlled laboratory conditions will be analyzed and modeled as results of multi-scale dynamics, 2) a search for novel measures of dynamic variables that are of interest in the explanations of linguistic behavior. On the theoretical side, the project involves linking this view of language to the theories of embodied (Brooks, 1991; Clark, 2007; Gallagher, 2005) and distributed (Hutchins, 1995; Cangelosi, 2006) cognition in order to work out a common framework for understanding research on these topics and on language. Finally, the organizational side of the project aims at creating a coherent team of researchers working both on the theoretical bases and experiments, while at the same time being connected to the most important centers and labs in the world that endorse a similar approach and/or conduct research based on similar frameworks.'
