  We explore how the social dynamics of communication and learning can bring
about the rise of a syntactic communication in a population of speakers. Our
study is developed starting from a version of the Naming Game model where an
elementary syntactic structure is introduced. This analysis shows how the
transition from non-syntactic to syntactic communication is socially favored in
communities which need to exchange a large number of concepts.
