Semantic Generalisation and the Inference of Meaning
Abstract. In this paper, a computational model of a successful negotiated communication system is presented, in which language agents develop their own meanings in response to their environment and attempt to infer the meanings of others’ utterances. The inherent uncertainty in the process of meaning inference in the system leads to variation in the agents’ internal semantic representations, which then itself drives language change in the form of semantic generalisation.
