Language Emergence through Shared Communication

many of the behaviors associated with acts of naming involve general kinds of cognitive abilities that are specific neither to humans nor to language.

the diskus is a tool needed to decipher what they are trying to communicate to us, in their own words, out of the depths of who they are and where they come from. We therefore need any interpreter we can muster if we wish to fully understand what they are communicating to us.



In cooperative communication about detached goals, a particularly important case of sharing inner worlds is to jointly refer to objects that are not present on the scene of communication.



The beauty of the diskus is that it operates as a language creation tool. It seems they know we will not be able to understand their language, and it may be they also accept they will not understand ours, hence the idea of using a device in order for both communication partners to create a language is the best option. Language emerges naturally during this interaction between us and them, a language which just serves the specific purpose it was intended for: to establish a contact.

a stable communicative system can emerge as a result of iterated interactions between artificial agents, even though there is nobody who determines any ”rules” of the communication. A general finding of the experiments is that the more ”speakers” and ”hearers” are involved in communication about the same outer world, the stronger is the convergence of the reference of the ”words” that are used and the faster is the convergence attained. Still, different ”dialects” in the simulated community often emerge.
