Abstract

In this paper we present a computational model for the emergence of a fixed word order in the language of a society of babbling agents. In contrast to the majority of research modeling the emergence of syntactic principles, in which a very strong governing role is set aside for the semantic aspect of communication, this paper touches on the possibility that one of the most basic grammatical principles, i.e. fixed word order, can develop without direct reference to concepts of shared meaning. With its rigid data-driven approach, the system described in this paper introduces a hitherto unexplored baseline perspective to the research efforts modeling the emergence of grammatical properties in language.
