Resumo

In order that communication can take place there must be something to be communicated. This basic stage of language evolution is the symbol grounding problem which addresses the issue of how physical signs acquire meaning. It is the symbols (e.g., words) associated to those meanings that are communicated by language. Here we show how the combination of the Modeling Field Theory and the Akaike Information Criterion can be used to find the true number of objects in an environment. We demonstrate creation of suitable representations and meanings for those objects and discuss the possible role of language in improving these representations. (AU)
