This paper presents a series of experiments in which two mobile robots develop a shared lexicon of which the meaning is grounded in the real world. The experiments investigate the impact of non-verbal communication on lexicon formation. Non-verbal communication is used to establish joint

I have suspended sales of the print version of my Cuneiform Luvian Lexicon in anticipation of a new edition. Since appearance of the latter has been delayed, I am making this online version available. I hereby expressly give consent for it to be printed and further reproduced without charge

International standards for lexicon formats are in preparation. To a certain extent, the proposed formats converge with prior results of standardization projects. However, their adequacy for (i) lexicon management and (ii) lexicon-driven applications have been little debated in the past, nor

This paper considers this issue by studying lexicon formation processes. It is

the computational system (syntax) with regard to the order of merging of arguments. The central part of the systems of concepts is, in fact, the component traditionally labeled (mental) lexicon. Reinhart assumes that the lexicon is an operative component of grammar; the theta system is a theoretical model

The paper surveys work on the computational modeling of the origins and evolution of language. The main approaches are clarified and some example experiments from the domains of the evolution of communication, phonetics, lexicon formation, and syntax are discussed. 1 Introduction The paper surveys

Multiple agents, equipped with a feature-based phonetic model and a connectionist cognitive model, interact via the name game paradigm, such that lexicon formation and change is an emergent property of this complex adaptive system. Our system converges on a coherent lexicon and effective

The lexical entry for a word must contain all the information eeded to construct a se-mantic representation for sentences that contain the word. Because of that requirement, the formats for lexical representations must be as detailed as the semantic forms. Simple representations, such as features

This paper summarizes the current status of version 2 of the Open Lexicon Interchange Format (OLIF). As a natural extension of the OLIF prototype (OLIF version 1), version 2 has been modified with respect to content and formalization (e.g., it is now XMLcompliant). These enhancements now make
