Abstract:

This paper presents some aspects related to natural language acquisition in our CARAMEL architecture. The CARAMEL model emphasises, at a global level, the importance of both conscious and unconscious processes for natural language understanding, drawing inspiration from theoretical work by Harth, Baars and especially Edelman. Three experiments on language grounding are described: prerequisites to language for an agent in its environment; evolution of syntactic conventions between agents; and conceptual bootstrapping for an agent exposed to language.
