The evolutionary language game formulates the origin of language as a game-theoretic problem. It was first described in ["The Evolutionary Language Game" (Nowak, Plotkin, Krakauer)] (The game models a communicative event as an attempt by one agent A to convey accurately a world-state W to a second agent B. Agent A encodes W as a message, M, which is then received by B. B's interpretation of M results in an internal representation of a world-state, W'. M may be received in degenerate form, i.e. transmission errors can occur. The success of a communicative act is measured as the proximity of W to W'. The game assumes altruism, i.e. that a successful communicative act benefits both agents, so both agents are rewarded for successful communication.
