This open access book presents an interdisciplinary discussion about symbol emergence systems. From a semiotic perspective, language is one form of symbol. However, the concept of symbol emergence systems refers to a broader notion of symbols those that emerge through shared meaning-making processes across various forms.
This book was written by over twenty researchers from a variety of fields, ranging from artificial intelligence and robotics to linguistics and cognitive science, as well as diverse disciplines in the humanities and social sciences. The book is divided into six parts.
· Part I: Foundations of Symbol Emergence Systems
· Part II: Symbol Emergence in Robotics
· Part III: Cognitive Development in the Environment
