The Origins of Vowel Systems - Studies in the Evolution of Language
Boer, Bart de (Postdoctoral Researcher in the Center for Mind, Brain, and Learning, Postdoctoral Researcher in the Center for Mind, Brain, and Learning, University of Washington)
Addresses universal tendencies of human vowel systems from the point of view of self-organization. This work uses computer simulations to show that the same universal tendencies found in human languages can be reproduced in a population of artificial agents. It also explores the implications of these results for the evolution of language.
