Abstract 摘要
The 6th International Conference in Evolutionary Linguistics (CIEL-6) will be held November 21-23, 2014 at Xiamen University [Fujian, China]. Registration will be on Nov. 21, and the conference is during Nov. 22-23. The previous annual conferences successfully held [in China at] Guangzhou, Tianjin, Shanghai, Beijing and Hong Kong have consolidated the platform for international interdisciplinary exchange on Evolutionary Linguistics research, which has promoted the development of Evolutionary Linguistics. Xiamen University is honored to hold this conference in 2014 and sincerely invites scholars interested in this field to attend the conference.
In recent years, owing to collaborative research on linguistics, anthropology, archeology, biology, genetics, neuroscience, etc., research in evolutionary linguistics has made great progress internationally and achieved substantial results. The abundant language resources, unique writing system, and complex effects of linguistic contact in China all provide vital resources for evolutionary linguistics research, and Chinese evolutionary linguistics research provides helpful references for universal language evolution research. Therefore, there is much anticipation of enhancing international interaction and interdisciplinary cooperation via this conference.
第六届演化语言学国际研讨会将于2014年11月21-23日在[中国福建]厦门大学举行。11月21日报到，11月22-23日正式研讨。自2009年起，演化语言学国际研讨会已分别在[中国的]广州、天津、上海、北京和香港成功举办五届，为语言演化研究提供了良好的跨学科国际交流平台，促进了演化语言学的发展。厦门大学荣幸承办此次会议，诚邀对此领域感兴趣的专家学者参会研讨。 近年来，得益于语言学、人类学、考古学、生物学、遗传学、神经科学等学科的通力合作，演化语言学在国际上得到长足发展，取得了丰硕的成果。中国具有丰富的语言材料和独特的文字系统，中国境内语言间的接触影响纷繁复杂，这些将成为语言演化规律研究的宝贵材料，中国语言演化研究将为语言的普遍演化规律研究提供重要的参考。鉴于此，我们希望通过召开“第六届演化语言学国际研讨会”继续加强国内外合作，促进多学科之间的协作。
