....Science. Preliminary results of the research have been presented at the 1996 Annual Meeting of the Language Origin Society, Baltimore, July 1996 and by D. Parisi as invited speaker at the 1996 Conference of the Cognitive Science Society, Special Session on Modelling language evolution , San Diego, July 1996. THE EMERGENCE OF A LANGUAGE IN AN EVOLVING POPULATION OF NEURAL NETWORKS Abstract The evolution of language implies the co evolution of an ability to respond appropriately to signals (language understanding) and the ability to produce the appropriate signals in the appropriate ....

....in studying language s origin and evolution using computer simulations has increased considerably in the last few years. Some researchers have explored the evolution of language using models that describe a language as a set of signal meaning pairs (Steels, 1996; Oliphant and Batali, 1996; Di Paolo, 1996). Other models have examined important linguistic phenomena such as the evolutionary emergence of a critical period for language development (Hurford, 1991) All these models have the advantage of simulating communicative behavior in an evolutionary perspective and using multi agent models that ....

....involving both the external aspect ( behaviour ) and well as the internal dynamics. Interaction and communication emerges from dynamical couplings between systems. Communication is not sufficiently described by knowledge transmission, it is rather a dynamic process of coordination (cf. [26]) Thus, humanising technology does not necessarily require creation of humanoid technology, it could rather push forward to develop technology which meets the specifically human ways and strategies of (socially) living and surviving.

....environment scattered with food particles to study how communication might evolve to facilitate coordinated foraging behavior. Cangelosi and Parisi (1996) use such a model to evolve networks to classify edible inedible food and pass this information on to others via a communication system. Di Paolo (1996) presents a similar simulation framework. While the evolutionary simulations that will be discussed in the next sections share much in common with the work described above, they are generally more abstract and less tied to a particular ecological context. This allows for the investigation of the ....

....activity we want to explain while, in fact, it is a consequence of that activity as seen by an observer, therefore it cannot play any operational role in its generation. Only after observing the activity are we able to speak about informational exchanges, and only in certain circumstances, see [8, 19, 20, 24] for complete discussions on this point) This metaphor has led many researchers to assume that a necessary condition for communication to arise is that not all relevant aspects of the environment are equally known to all the participants. It is interesting to see how this idea has influenced the ....

....to Jason Noble for pointing this out. is not able to see the food type that it is dealing with. In section 5 I show that the assumption that this is a necessity is invalid. A game theoretical dynamical analysis of a population of players of this game has been carried out for simplified conditions [8]. In order to make the model tractable geographical considerations were ignored so that agents can have access to any food source and play the game with any other agent in the population. Behavioral strategies were reduced to four possibilities without bias towards coordination. The results of ....
