abstract.dvi Robots, language, and meaning Deb Roy Cognitive Machines Group MIT Media Lab Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA dkroy@media.mit.edu Abstract People use language to exchange ideas and influence the actions of others through shared conceptions of word meanings, and through a shared understanding of how word meanings are combined. Under the surface form of words lie complex networks of mental
