Dear Alife Mutants,

here is a (very personal) selection of talks from the Evolang conference
in Leipzig.
They all have in common that they provide a nice conceptional
/computational framework for the evolution of language that may be a
startingpoint for one of the projects at the next rule110 winter
workshop...

{ language change and social networks } (jinyun ke)
modell of how various communication networks (small world, scale free ...)
influence the evolution of language
http://www.ling.ed.ac.uk/evolang/ABSTRACTS/TALKS/jinyunke.txt

{ a unified computer model for internal and external constraints in
language evolution } (Christophe Coupé)
dynamic complex systems approach to language evolution
http://www.ling.ed.ac.uk/evolang/ABSTRACTS/TALKS/coupe.txt

{ language emergence: a self-organized model using indirect meaning
transference } (Tao Gong, Jinyun Ke, James W. Minett, William Wang)
promising modell using classifier systems (invented by John Holland)
http://www.ling.ed.ac.uk/evolang/ABSTRACTS/TALKS/taogong-jinyunke.txt

{ emergent compositionality in language through negotiation } (Nicolas
Neubauer)
simulates how compositionality in language can be induced by structure in
the environment
http://www.ling.ed.ac.uk/evolang/ABSTRACTS/TALKS/neubauer.pdf

{ language emerges only in kin-related groups or if it used to talk to
oneself } ( Marco Mirolli, Domenico Parisi )
interesting approach simulated in a small and beautiful mushroom world
http://www.ling.ed.ac.uk/evolang/ABSTRACTS/TALKS/mirolli-parisi.txt

Unfortunately the papers are not available yet, but the abstracts should
give you a first impression.

Cheers,
Martin
