Paul Vogt is assistant professor at the Tilburg center for Cognition and Communication at Tilburg University, the Netherlands. His lifelong research interest focuses on the understanding of the social and cognitive mechanisms that underlie the acquisition and evolution of language. He started this academic career studying the emergence of vocabulary using mobile robots at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, where he obtained his PhD. After that, he investigated the self-organisation of compositionality using agent-based simulations at the University of Edinburgh and at Tilburg University. Currently, he investigates how human children acquire early language in the Netherlands and in Mozambique. One of the aims of that study is to construct a corpus that can be used in agent-based simulations of language acquisition and evolution. See less
