    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Language complexity seems to be influenced by populationcharacteristics such as the proportion of adult learners. Onepotential explanation for this link is that native speakers ac-commodate to non-native speakers, simplifying their languageuse during such interactions: learners may then acquire a lesscomplex language. We model accommodation in interaction ina Bayesian framework, where in order to accommodate appro-priately, an agent must first infer their interlocutor’s linguisticabilities. We find that when the agent consistently accommo-dates, learners end up with a simplified language, due to a rein-forcing effect between an initially underinformed learner andan accommodating native speaker.",
