What can we conclude
from ILM results?
lGeneral
methodological approach:
¡Discover which simulation parameters lead to
language-like systems
¡Hypothesise
that these parameters are necessary (and sufficient?) precursors for language
lSufficiency
conditions: tells us how much we need to explain
lNecessity
conditions: helps solve the uniqueness
problem.
Uniqueness
problem:
Why is it that
only humans have language?
