Before revision:  However, they fail to account for another fundamental aspect of human language: Because languages are transmitted from generation to generation, they have to be learnable by new language users, which makes them subject to cultural evolution. Recent work has shown that incorporating cultural evolution in referential game results in considerable improvements in the properties of the languages that emerge in the game .
After revision:  However, they fail to account for another fundamental aspect of human language: Because languages are transmitted from generation to generation, they have to be learnable by new language learners. Cogswell et al. (2019) introduced cultural transmission within referential games through a changing population of agents to constrain the emerging language to be learnable. However, the resulting languages remain inherently biased by the agents' underlying capabilities .
