Developmental exploration in the cultural evolution of lexical conventions

چکیده
On the one hand, many models of language formation and self-organization were developed in the last decade, under the general theoretical umbrella of semiotic dynamics (Steels, 2003). One of the best studied model is the naming game (Kaplan, 2005), in which a population of agents builds a shared lexicon, associating words and meanings, through cultural evolution and selforganization. In these simulations, agents interact in a peer-to-peer manner, negotiating each time the word that shall be associated to a randomly chosen meaning. Experiments have shown that simple feedback mechanisms lead to the self-organization of a globally shared set of associations (Steels, 2003; Kaplan, 2005).
