Abstract: The paper reports on experiments in which robotic agents and software agents are set up to originate language and meaning. The experiments test the hypothesis that mechanisms for generating complexity commonly found in biosystems, in particular self-organisation, co-evolution, and level formation, also may explain the spontaneous formation, adaptation, and growth in complexity of language. Keywords: origins of language, origins of meaning, self-organisation, distributed agents, open systems. 1... (Update)
