We study the effects of various emergent topologies of interaction on the rate of language convergence in a population of communicating agents. The agents generate, parse, and lea...
How does a shared lexicon arise in population of agents with differing lexicons, and how can this shared lexicon be maintained over multiple generations? In order to get some insig...
Co-learning is a model involving agents from a large population, who interact by playing a fixed game and update their behaviour based on previous experience and the outcome of th...

The paper argues that language change can be explained through the stochasticity observed in real-world natural language use. This thesis is demonstrated by modeling language use ...
