....trajectories through a phase space, with horizontally the size of the grammar and vertically the number of distinct strings the grammars can parse. The three trajectories are obtained with the same parameters and just di er in the random seed ; the dashed curves are theoretical predictions (see [23, 24]) matical language. One refers to the powerful learning abilities of humans, and assumes that a human child, born as a tabula rasa, rapidly learns the regularities in its linguistic environment. Language speci cs originate in the cultural transmission of language knowledge from one individual to ....

....components R I , RC , RR , that depend on each of these categories of routes. Similarly, expressiveness (the number of distinct strings a grammar can parse) can be divided in E I , E C , ER . routes. Grammars can be characterized by these values, and classified according to the largest component (Zuidema, 2000). Results To evaluate some general properties of the model, we studied the behavior with the parameter settings of Hashimoto Ikegami (1996) and a number of variations. Similar to their results, we find that evolution can quickly lead to grammars that can parse a large fraction of the 126 ....
