Margot Berthelin

I am a PhD student in Sabine Stoll's ACQDIV Lab, and part of the Institute for the Interdisciplinary Study of Language Evolution. I'm working on prelinguistic vocalisations, the acoustic regularities they exhibit and the earliest meanings they convey.

Co-supervised by Klaus Zuberbühler, and as a NCCR internal collaborator (NCCR Evolving Language), interdisciplinarity is at the center of my research. Here is a video on the theoretical background of our group (Animal Meaning): see the video on Youtube. In this group, together with Animal Behavior experts, we adopt a comparative approach towards vocalisations and volubility across species.
