TAILIEUCHUNG - Báo cáo khoa học: "Atestbed for research in origins of language"

We believe that language is a complex adaptive system that emerges from adaptive interactions between language users and continues to evolve and adapt through repeated interactions. Our research looks at the mechanisms and processes involved in such emergence and adaptation. To provide a basis for our computer simulations, we have implemented an open-ended, extensible testbed called Babel which allows rapid construction of experiments and flexible visualization of results. | Babel A testbed for research in origins of language Angus McIntyre Sony CSL Paris 6 rue Amyot Paris 75003 France angus@ Abstract We believe that language is a complex adaptive system that emerges from adaptive interactions between language users and continues to evolve and adapt through repeated interactions.

To provide a basis for our computer simulations we have implemented an open-ended extensible testbed called Babel which allows rapid construction of experiments and flexible visualization of results. 1 Introduction Over the past few years a growing number of researchers have begun to look at some of the fundamental questions in linguistics in a new light using new tools and methodologies to explore a number of unresolved issues. Among these issues are questions about the origin and the evolution of natural languages - how a language can arise and how it can continue to develop and change over time see Steels 1997 for a summary . Some workers in the field stick relatively closely to what might be described as the Chomskyan orthodoxy see Chomsky 1981 Chomsky 1986 in assuming the existence of a genetically-encoded language acquisition device LAD which is primarily responsible for determining the properties of language. For these researchers see for example Briscoe 1997 computer simulations offer the chance to explore the possible properties and origins of the LAD. Other researchers choose to focus not on genetic evolution of human linguistic faculties but on the selectionist forces that operate on language itself. Kirby and Hurford Kirby and Hurford 1997 for example have shown that a model of selectionist processes operating on the language is able to explain both linguistic universals and variational constraints. The role of selection effects on language can even be explored independently of any assumed inherited language faculty Oliphant Oliphant 1996 shows
