This article reports on the current state of our efforts to shed light on the origin and evolution of linguistic diversity using synthetic modeling and arti cial life es. We constr...
Some recent Artificial Life models have attempted to explain the origin of linguistic diversity with varying conclusions and explanations. We posit, contrary to some existing Artif...
We show how cultural selection for learnability during the process of linguistic evolution can be visualized using a simple iterated learning model. Computational models of linguis...
In this paper we consider the problem of building a system to predict readability of natural-language documents. Our system is trained using diverse features based on syntax and l...

Abstract. Structural hallmarks of language can be explained in terms of adaptation, by language, to pressures arising during its cultural transmission. Here I present a model which...
