DESCRIPTION:LEL Masterclass with Richard Blythe (Edinburgh).\n\nAbstract:
  "In this informal session\, I will set out my views on the role that ma
 thematical models may - and may not - play in answering questions about 
 language change. I will discuss in particular the Utterance Selection Mo
 del developed in collaboration with Gareth Baxter\, William Croft and Al
 an McKane\, focussing in particular on the rationale underpinning the ch
 oices we made\, and some of the questions we have been able to answer wi
 th it. Participants are invited to bring along their own thoughts about 
 models of language change\, and/or contribute to the debate as to how mu
 ch we can learn from them."
