This paper illustrates how external (or social ) symbol grounding can be studied in simulations with large populations. We discuss we simulate language evolution a relatively complex environment which has been developed the context of New Ties project. project objective evolving cultural society and, doing so, agents have to evolve communication system that is grounded their interactions virtual and other individuals. A preliminary experiment presented investigate effect number learning mechanisms. The results show problem particularly hard one; however, provide an ideal platform study this problem.
