Abstract:

This paper shows that realistic and coherent vowel systems can emerge from scratch in a population of agents that imitate each other under human -like constraints of production and perception. The simulation is extended so that populations can change; old agents can be removed, and new agents can be added. In these circumstances vowel systems can also emerge and be preserved.
