Language and Meaning Across One or More Lifespans
Quantitative approaches to language have opened up new pathways to understanding how language changes across the lifespan, from childhood to late life, as well as how language changes over cultural time in response to changing selective forces and the psychological states of communicators. In this talk, I'll discuss my research in this area using a number of case studies in child language learning, memory loss, and the evolution of language.
