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 in which an elementary syntactic structure is introduced. This analysis shows how the transition from nonsyntactic to syntactic communication is socially favored in communities which need to exchange a large number of concepts.
