From the field into the lab: causal approaches to the evolution of spatial language

Autor: Jonas Nölle, Michael Spranger

Publikováno v: Linguistics Vanguard. 8:191-203

Striking variation exists in preferences for specific spatial linguistic strategies among different speech communities. Increasing evidence now suggests that this might not simply be a result of neutral drift, but rather a form of linguistic adaptati

Experimental Semiotics: past, present, and future

Autor: Jonas Nölle, Bruno Galantucci

Experimental Semiotics (ES) investigates how novel semiotic systems emerge by observing people ground communication in lab games, thus exposing the fundamental principles of human semiosis and the pressures through which they originate. We review the

Language is one of the most complex of human traits. There are many hypotheses about how it originated, what factors shaped its diversity, and what ongoing processes drive how it changes. We present the Causal Hypotheses in Evolutionary Linguistics D

What causes cultural groups to favour specific conventions over others? Recently, it has been suggested that cross-linguistic variation can be motivated by factors of the wider non-linguistic environment. Large-scale cross-sectional studies have foun

Usage context influences the evolution of overspecification in iterated learning

Autor: Stefan Hartmann, Peeter Tinits, Jonas Nölle

Publikováno v: Journal of Language Evolution. 2:148-159

This article investigates the influence of contextual pressures on the evolution of overspecification, i.e. the degree to which communicatively irrelevant meaning dimensions are specified, in an iterated learning setup. To this end, we combine two li
