Experimental Semiotics: Studies on the emergence and evolution of human communication

Edited by Bruno Galantucci and Simon Garrod

In the early twentieth century, Ferdinand de Saussure envisioned "a science which studies the role of signs as part of social life". About a century later, a science has emerged that is very much in the spirit of that envisioned by de Saussure. Researchers who are developing this science, which has… read more

Fay, Nicolas, Mark Ellison and Simon Garrod 2014 Iconicity: From sign to system in human communication and language Diagrammatic Reasoning, Fusaroli, Riccardo and Kristian Tylén (eds.), pp. 244–263 | Article

This paper explores the role of iconicity in spoken language and other human communication systems. First, we concentrate on graphical and gestural communication and show how semantically motivated iconic signs play an important role in creating such communication systems from scratch. We then… read more

Garrod, Simon and Martin J. Pickering 2013 Interactive alignment and prediction  in dialogue Alignment in Communication: Towards a new theory of communication, Wachsmuth, Ipke, Jan de Ruiter, Petra Jaecks and Stefan Kopp (eds.), pp. 193–204 | Article

In this chapter we discuss Pickering and Garrod’s (2004) interactive alignment account of dialogue processing and consider a range of evidence supporting the model. We then introduce a more nuanced account of interactive alignment than that in Pickering and Garrod (2004) based on speakers’ and… read more

Garrod, Simon, Nicolas Fay, Shane Rogers, Bradley Walker and Nik Swoboda 2012 Can iterated learning explain the emergence of graphical symbols? Experimental Semiotics: Studies on the emergence and evolution of human communication, Galantucci, Bruno and Simon Garrod (eds.), pp. 33–50 | Article

This paper contrasts two influential theoretical accounts of language change and evolution – Iterated Learning and Social Coordination. The contrast is based on an experiment that compares drawings produced with Garrod et al.’s (2007) ‘pictionary’ task with those produced in an Iterated Learning… read more
