Abstract
We study a generalized version of the signaling processoriginally introduced and studied by Argiento, Pemantle, Skyrms and Volkov(2009), which models how two interacting agents learn to signal each other andthus create a common language.
We show that the process asymptotically leads to the emergence of a graph ofconnections between signals and states which has the property that nosignal-state correspondance could be associated both to a synonym and aninformational bottleneck.
