Abstract

We present a computational modeling approach to language based on an integrative view of the agent's cognitive system. The emergence of linguistic abilities (both evolutionarily and developmentally) is strictly dependent on, and grounded in, other sensorimotor behaviors and cognitive abilities. Linguistic simulations imply the use of groups of autonomous agents that interact via language games to exchange information about the environment. The agents' coordinated communication system is not externally imposed by the researcher, but emerges from the interaction between agents. We present a series studies on grounded simulation adaptive agent and on evolutionary and epigenetic robots.
