This paper investigates the interaction between the two adaptation processes in different time scales, evolution and learning of language, by using a computational model. Simulation results show that the fitness increases rapidly and remains at a high level, while the phenotypic plasticity increases together with the fitness but then decreases and gradually converges to a medium value. This is regarded as the two-step transition of the so-called Baldwin effect. We investigate the evolutionary dynamics governing the effect.}, pages = {65--69}, title = {Language Evolution and the Baldwin Effect}, volume = {12}, year = {2008} }
