TLDR
The authors exploit newly available massive natu- ral language corpora to capture the language as a language evolution phenomenon. But their work is limited to a subset of the languages in the corpus.

Singstimme und Gesundheit

TL;DR: Singen is eine Grundfunktionen der zwischenmenschlichen Kommunikation and Gefuhlsvermittlung as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vocal communication is multi-sensorimotor coordination within and between individuals.

TL;DR: Two additional capacities – rhythmic audiovisual speech and cooperative communication – are described and it is suggested that they may utilize the very same or similar circuits as those proposed for vocal learning.

Tercer salto funcional en la evolución del lenguaje: recursión

TL;DR: The third functional step in the evolution of language: recursion as mentioned in this paper was conceived as the third and last functional step within the framework of TELES3 (Theory of Language Evolution by Three Emergencies and Natural Selection).

The Evolution of Cooperation

TL;DR: In this paper, a model based on the concept of an evolutionarily stable strategy in the context of the Prisoner's Dilemma game was developed for cooperation in organisms, and the results of a computer tournament showed how cooperation based on reciprocity can get started in an asocial world, can thrive while interacting with a wide range of other strategies, and can resist invasion once fully established.

The magical number seven plus or minus two: some limits on our capacity for processing information

TL;DR: The theory provides us with a yardstick for calibrating the authors' stimulus materials and for measuring the performance of their subjects, and the concepts and measures provided by the theory provide a quantitative way of getting at some of these questions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neural networks and physical systems with emergent collective computational abilities

TL;DR: A model of a system having a large number of simple equivalent components, based on aspects of neurobiology but readily adapted to integrated circuits, produces a content-addressable memory which correctly yields an entire memory from any subpart of sufficient size.
Journal ArticleDOI

Deterministic nonperiodic flow

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that nonperiodic solutions are ordinarily unstable with respect to small modifications, so that slightly differing initial states can evolve into considerably different states, and systems with bounded solutions are shown to possess bounded numerical solutions.

The mathematical theory of communication

TL;DR: The Mathematical Theory of Communication (MTOC) as discussed by the authors was originally published as a paper on communication theory more than fifty years ago and has since gone through four hardcover and sixteen paperback printings.
