What is it to talk of birds and language?
We do not hesitate to refer to the many nuanced and complex sounds of birds as songs. We move, easily, towards thinking about these sounds as a species of language. These investigations reveal insights about the evolution of our own language.
Join Madeleine Kelly (@madeleine_kelly) & Associate Professor Ian Maxwell, and a host of artists and academics to explore this topic next month for a compelling two-day conference with discussions spanning art, science, music, linguistics and more.
