语言系统中的语音既有分类的，也有组合的，并且对元素如何重组有限制。为了研究这种组合结构的起源，我们对人类参与者进行了一次迭代学习实验，研究了人工声音系统的传输。在这项研究中，参与者学习和回忆一个由滑动口哨产生的声音系统，这是一种直观和非语言的乐器。他们所接触的系统是前一个参与者的回忆输出。从参与者到参与者的传输导致系统发生变化，并逐渐变得更可学习和更结构化。这表明组合结构可以通过迭代学习在人工声音系统中文化地出现。
Speech sounds within a linguistic system are both categorical and combinatorial and there are constraints on how elements can be recombined. To investigate the origins of this combinatorial structure, we conducted an iterated learning experiment with human participants, studying the transmission of an artificial system of sounds. In this study, participants learn and recall a system of sounds that are produced with a slide whistle, an instrument that is both intuitive and non-linguistic. The system they are exposed to is the recall output of the previous participant. Transmission from participant to participant causes the system to change and become cumulatively more learnable and more structured. This shows that combinatorial structure can culturally emerge in an artificial sound system through iterated learning.
