We explore how evolutionary game dynamics have to be modified to accomodate a mathematical framework for the evolution of language. In particular, we are interested in the evolution of vocabulary, that is associations between signals and objects. We assume that successful communication contributes to biological fitness: individuals who communicate well leave more offspring. Children inherit fro...

A public-announcement game is a finite static complete-information game, the base game, preceded by the observation of a public signal, interpreted as an announcem...

We proceed from understanding games by Ludwig Wittgenstein Johan Huizinga according to which its varieties include both acts nomination translation. research is based neological quasi-terms whose main function not give names objects but induc...
