Human languages vary in many ways but also show striking cross-linguistic universals. Why do these universals exist? Recent theoretical results demonstrate that Bayesian learners transmitting language to each other through iterated learning will converge on a distribution of languages that depends only on their prior biases about language and the quantity of data transmitted at each point; the ...

The problem of universals remains a philosophical theme not only in ontology but also epistemology. In Husserl, there are particular universals, the noematic ‘X’, identical, and stricto sensu, atemporal universal names. this paper, I present as it is analyzed by Husserl Ideas I. first section, describe trajectory to highlighting parallelism between noese noema. second draw reflection on philoso...
