Language Evolution and the Baldwin Effect [PDF]
, 2008 Recently, a new constructive approach characterized by the use of computational models for simulating the evolution of language has emerged. This paper investigates the interaction between the two adaptation processes in different time scales, evolution ...

On the evolution of the language of nephrology
Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 2021 It is no exaggeration to state that the ICD has been one of the best examples of international collaboration in developing an authoritative tool in the service of medical discourse worldwide. It has endowed the language of medicine with a uniformity that is deficient or lacking in other disciplines.

Evolution of speech and evolution of language [PDF]
Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2016 Speech is the physical signal used to convey spoken language. Because of its physical nature, speech is both easier to compare with other species' behaviors and easier to study in the fossil record than other aspects of language. Here I argue that convergent fossil evidence indicates adaptations for complex vocalizations at least as early as the common

Child-directed speech is optimized for syntax-free semantic inference
Scientific Reports, 2021 The way infants learn language is a highly complex adaptive behavior. This behavior chiefly relies on the ability to extract information from the speech they hear and combine it with information from the external environment.

Experimental evidence for the influence of structure and meaning on linear order in the noun phrase
Glossa, 2020 Recent work has used artificial language experiments to argue that hierarchical representations drive learners’ expectations about word order in complex noun phrases like these two green cars (Culbertson & Adger 2014; Martin, Ratitamkul, et al. 2019).

Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Interceptive eavesdropping on the alarm calls of heterospecifics provides crucial information about predators. Previous research suggests predator discrimination, call relevance, reliability, and reception explain when eavesdropping will evolve. However,

Investigating Word Order Emergence: Constraints From Cognition and Communication
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 How do cognitive biases and mechanisms from learning and use interact when a system of language conventions emerges? We investigate this question by focusing on how transitive events are conveyed in silent gesture production and interaction.
