|
|
| l | Model
looks at what happens to a language that is |
|||||||||||||
| completely
compositional vs. completely holistic |
||||||||||||||
| ˇ | i.e.,
Lyapunov local stability |
|||||||||||||
| ˇ | Note:
same problem for Nowak et. al in Nature |
|||||||||||||
| l | What
about partially compositional systems? |
|||||||||||||
| l | Model
assumes that meaning-space is fixed and |
|||||||||||||
| provided
by some other evolutionary mechanism |
||||||||||||||
| ˇ | Seems
to run counter to the “spirit” of adaptation |
|||||||||||||
| through
iterated learning |
||||||||||||||
| l | What if
the meaning-space coevolves with the |
|||||||||||||
| syntactic
system? |
