Ted Briscoe – Modélisation de l’évolution des langues

Conférence de Ted Briscoe, professeur invité par le labex TransferS et le Lattice pour un cycle de conférences sur le thème de la modélisation de l’évolution des langues.

The lectures will describe a computational simulation model which characterises languages as complex adaptive systems selected for learnability, interpretability and/or expressivity within a population of language using agents.

This characterisation is a direct consequence of shifting the study of language from synchronic idiolects to evolving populations of classical generative agents learning, producing and interpreting language in a shared arena. As each new generation of learners acquires a grammar from the utterances in the arena of use to which they are exposed, they, in effect, select from this arena the more learnable variant.

Workshop on Language, Cognition and Computational Models The Workshop on Language, Cognition and Computational Models has been held in Paris at Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS) and at the Institut des Systèmes Complexes de Paris-Ile de France (ISC-PIF), on May 28th and 29th 2013. The goal of this event is to provide a venue for the multidisciplinary discussion of theoretical and practical research for computational models of language and cognition. The event centers around recent advances on computational models for language acquisition, processing and evolution.
