Abstract:

The development of structure of relationships between words is studied with a constructive approach by means of artificial agents with grammar systems. The agents try to recognize given sentences in terms of their own grammar. A word's relationship to other words, which represents meanings of the word, is derived by analyzing the word's usage in sentences, and which is calculated via the mutual dependency between words and sentences. The agents differentiate recognized words into clusters in a space of relationships among words. The structures of clusters can be classified into several types. The dynamics of clusters such as merging, boundary expansions, structural changes are observed. These clusters and their dynamics have some relevance with linguistic categorization. 1 Introduction Language can be seen as an evolutionary system. At the time of its origin, a successful language must consist of simple syntax, a small number of words, and very few abstractions. Human languages have ...
