A MODEL FOR EVOLUTIONARY DYNAMICS OF WORDS IN A LANGUAGE
Human language, over its evolutionary history, has emerged as one of the fundamental defining characteristic of the modern man. However, this milestone evolutionary process through natural selection has not left any ’linguistic fossils’ that may enable us to trace back the actual course of development of language and its establishment in human societies. Lacking analytical tools to fathom the cr...
متن کاملMultiscale Structure in Eco-Evolutionary Dynamics
In a complex system, the individual components are neither so tightly coupled or correlated that they can all be treated as a single unit, nor so uncorrelated that they can be approximated as independent entities. Instead, patterns of interdependency lead to structure at multiple scales of organization. Evolution excels at producing such complex structures. In turn, the existence of these compl...
متن کاملModelling linguistic taxonomic dynamics
This paper presents the results of the application of a bit-string model of languages (Schulze and Stauffer 2005) to problems of taxonomic patterns. The questions addressed include the following: (1) Which parameters are minimally needed for the development of a taxonomic dynamics leading to the type of distribution of language family sizes currently attested (as measured in the number of langu...
متن کاملCo-evolutionary Dynamics of Information Diffusion and Network Structure
Information diffusion in online social networks is obviously affected by the underlying network topology, but it also has the power to change that topology. Online users are constantly creating new links when exposed to new information sources, and in turn these links are alternating the route of information spread. However, these two highly intertwined stochastic processes, information diffusi...
متن کاملEvolutionary Dynamics of Populations with a Local Interaction Structure
A model of a population with a Local Interaction structure is presented. Individuals interact with others in a given Interaction neighborhood to obtain their payo . Individuals either imitate or else they die and are replaced by one of their neighbors in another neighborhoodthe Propagation neighborhood. An individual with a higher payo is more likely to be imitated or to replace his neighbor. A...
