Abstract The development of structure of relationships between words is studied with a constructive ap­ proach by means of artificial agents with gram­ mar systems. The agents try to recognize given sentences in terms of their own grammar. A word's relationship to other words, which repre­ sents meanings of the word, is derived by ana­ lyzing the word's usage in sentences, and which is calculated via the mutual dependency between words and sentences. The agents differentiate rec­ ognized words into clusters in a space of relation­ ships 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 lin­ guistic 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 been constructed through such processes as word formation, grammatical­ ization, or expression diversification. Our own communi­ cation has inherited, via evolutionary pathways, some of the features of animal communication [1]. Accordingly, it is important to study the evolutionary aspects of lan­ guage from primitive communication systems. Even now language is changing. Pidgin and creole languages are increasing in their complexity, and new expressions are daily being added to every language. Language, in short, is an ever­changing system. Evolutionary linguistics is a new candidate for poten­ tially clarifying the origins and evolution of ...
