The emergence of language differences in artificial codes
通过实验室实验，研究人工语言代码如何形成，发现环境特征（如空间位置或几何形状的多样性）会影响代码的符号使用策略，并且语言会影响使用者对图形的认知。
Abstract The paper studies how common codes of artificial language in communication are developed in the laboratory. We find that codes emerging from an environment with more variable spatial positions tend to use a limited set of symbols to represent positions, whereas codes emerging from an environment with more variable geometric shapes tend to discriminate among shapes. The paper also experimentally shows that “language” affects the way its “speakers” share the view about a novel figure.
