On the Evolution of Compositional Language
Philosophy of Science 87 (5):910-920 (2020)
Abstract
We present here a hierarchical model for the evolution of compositional language. The model has the structure of a two-sender/one-receiver Lewis signaling game augmented with executive agents who m...Author Profiles
