What’s going on?
l There is no biological evolution in the ILM.
l There isn’t even any communication; no notion of
function in model at all.
l So, why are structured languages evolving?
l Hypothesis:
   Languages themselves are evolving to the conditions of
the ILM in order that they are learnable.
l Only rules that are generalisable from limited exposure
are stable.
l The poverty of the stimulus ensures that holistic
expressions cannot survive.
