    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "The ability to form complex linguistic units from simpler ones\nlies at the center of many explanations of the communicative\nsuccess and robustness of natural language. A closely related\nability is that to generalize knowledge about such constructions\nto novel ones. The present investigation addresses the\nquestion what the minimal conditions for the emergence of\nsuch productive compositional communication are. Two features\nare argued to be required for this: relations between elements\nand classes over their relations. Using signaling games\nwith reinforcement learning we show that a learning bias involving\nboth aspects can lead to the emergence of such generalizable\nstructure.",
