The Evolution of Meaning-Space Structure through Iterated Learning
[chapter]
2007
Emergence of Communication and Language
In order to persist, language must be transmitted from generation to generation through a repeated cycle of use and learning. This process of iterated learning has been explored extensively in recent years using computational and mathematical models. These models have shown how compositional syntax provides language with a stability advantage and that iterated learning can induce linguistic adaptation. This paper presents an extension to previous idealised models to allow linguistic agents
