Dynamics of internal and global structure through linguistic interactions

摘要

Development of category structure in communication is studied by a constructive approach. Individuals having a word relation matrix as their internal structure communicate by uttering and accepting sentences. Words in sentences uttered are situated in relation with other words by each individual. Words make clusters according to their interrelationships. The structures and dynamics of clusters are studied. Coexisting commonality and individuality of clustering structure is observed in an ensemble of individuals.
