内容：言語学者にとってのDarwinism & Canalization and Environmental Engineering
概要：今回のゼミでは2つの異なるトピックについて、前半と後半に分け、簡潔に論じて行きたい。
　　　前半部では近年の進化に対する言語学者の歩み寄りと、Darwinianとのギャップとその埋め方について、
　　　後半では今週月曜日行われた鈴木氏の発表内で交わされたCanalizationに関し、
　　　新たな（三番目の）メカニズムについて論じる予定である。

In this presentation, we will briefly deal with two distinctive topics.
In the first half, we will discuss the gap between formal linguists and
Darwinian evolutionists regarding their recognition of "evolution".
The recent surge of interests revolving around evolutionary perspectives
from formal linguists has been much appreciated.
However, their recognitions seem to be on an unavoidable collision course of neo-Darwinism.
We explore a possible consolidation of their views.

In the second half, a new type of canalization will be discussed.
As was in Monday's Dr. Suzuki's talk, canalization has been known
as a close concept to both genetic assimilation and the Baldwin effect.
However, it is also true that the concept is somewhat muddled-up with the later two.
We first clear the concept, and look at a third-type
(after the two well-known canalizing phenomena, namely genetic and environmental canalizations)
of canalization based on a niche-constructing property of learning.
