Abstract

The FCG formalism is being developed at the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and the Sony Computer Science Laboratory in Paris. Pieter Wellens has been supported by the ESF EuroUnderstanding project DRUST funded by FWO and by the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. Katrien Beuls received funding from a strategic basic research grant from the agency for Innovation by Science and Technology (IWT). Remi van Trijp is funded by the Sony Computer Science Laboratory Paris.

Fluid Construction Grammar (FCG) is an open-source computational grammar formalism that is becoming increasingly popular for studying the history and evolution of language. This demonstration shows how FCG can be used to operationalise the cultural processes and cognitive mechanisms that underly language evolution and change.
