There is no
biological evolution in the ILM.
|
|
|
|
l |
There isn’t even
any communication; no notion of
|
|
|
function in model
at all.

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.
