Convexity (probably) makes languages efficient

Abstract excerpt

<p>Both functional and lexical categories in natural languages are believed to be shaped by domain-general pressures for efficient information transmission and simplicity of representations. However, the origins of this simplicity-informativeness trade-off remain unclear, with previous research suggesting that it may stem from learning, communication, or both. In this paper, we propose that the domain-general bias...
