Dear Students!

Our next speaker will be Eugene Buder, and he will be talking about “Structures possibly associated with uniquely human speech capabilities”!

The article you need to read is Fitch (2010) - from the book: The Evolution of Language - the chapter about Speech that we sent out! Don't panic because of the 129 pages - most of it is actually references since Eugene included ALL the references of the book!

He also recommends  the article about increased human breath control we sent out (MacLarnon & Hewitt), but it is not obligatory!

Looking forward to our last official speaker of the seminar!!

cheers
