Abstract: | Recently there has been some interest in studying the explanation of meaning by using signaling games. I shall argue that
the meaning of signals in signaling games remains sufficiently unclear to motivate further investigation. In particular, the
possibility of distinguishing imperatives and indicatives at a fundamental level will be explored. Thereby I am trying to
preserve the generality of the signaling games framework while bringing it closer to human languages. A number of convergence
results for the evolutionary dynamics of our models will be proved. |
