Constructive approaches to co-creative communication

https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/34288/constructive-approaches-to-c
o-creative-communication

The study of language evolution has focused both on the biological evolution
of linguistic abilities of humans and the cultural evolution of language,
which could have coevolved with each other. Such interactions between
different levels of evolutionary systems are also occurring in modern
societies, that is, the coevolution of communication platforms and
communicative interactions on those platforms.

In addition, the forms of communication today are becoming more and more
diverse due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A variety of online communication
platforms (e.g., Zoom, SpatialChat) are emerging as well as SNSs (e.g.,
Twitter, Instagram). While such platforms have reduced spatial and temporal
constraints in our communication, we need to interact with people, avatars,
and artificial agents in various types of online platforms. Furthermore, roles
of face-to-face communication including non-verbal interactions are also
becoming important to complement such new forms of communications, and mixture
of them are also emerging (e.g. XR, Metaverse). 

Meanwhile, these trends provide us an opportunity to adapt to or coevolve with
such emerging systems to make our communication co-creative in the sense that
communicative interactions can bring about emergence of novel knowledge,
opportunities, options, values, and social dynamics. 

Constructive approaches to communicative interactions, such as the origin and
evolution of language, can contribute to the design of novel forms of online,
face-to-face, and hybrid interactions for such co-creative communication. They
have developed various methodologies to create artificial and communicative
contexts (e.g., game-theoretical experiments, human-robot interactions,
cultural transmission experiments, experimental semiotic approaches,
artificial agents) to consider possible scenarios of social evolution of
language and culture, as complex adaptive systems. Those methodologies may
enable us to reveal novel dynamics of digital dialects that can emerge in
social relationships on SNSs, which may be different from those in traditional
geographic relationships. Furthermore, approaches to emergent communication
may allow us to understand how novel syntactic or lexical properties can
evolve to be shared in such recently emerging social relationships. Pro-social
computing in AI fields have also been studied to promotion of cooperative
behavior, which are important concepts for co-creative communication.

The role of this interdisciplinary Research Topic is to bring together the
current research based on constructive approaches focusing on social evolution
as complex adaptive systems, which can contribute to understanding, design,
and application of co-creative communication on online, face-to-face and
hybrid systems.

We welcome manuscripts on the following subjects:

- Evolutionary dynamics of language and linguistic interactions
- Emergent dynamics in human-robot systems
- Agent-based modeling on co-creative communicative interactions
- Pro-social computing for co-creative communication
- Emergent communication and emergence of novel and shared syntactic or
lexical properties
- Digital dialects in online social networks
- Quantification of co-creativeness
- Big data analyses of human communication
- Emergent dynamics of co-creative communication in hybrid (e.g., online and
face-to-face; XR) communication
- Methodologies for computational or empirical frameworks for discussing
co-creative communications
- Empirical methods (psychological experiments, observations, and surveys) on
understanding co-creative aspects of communication
