Computer Modeling of Language Evolution
Since language is the most distinctive aspect of our species, the origin and evolution of language has intrigued the human mind since ancient times. Earlier speculations on these questions were seldom fruitful because there was virtually no empirical foundation to build upon. It is well known that the linguistic societies in Paris and London banned such discussions in the 19 century. By the mid...
متن کاملModeling Language Evolution for Model Family Support
In Model-Driven Engineering, models can evolve over time or vary along dimensions such as products. Such evolution results in a set of related models called model family. A model family can be captured with a “150% model” that merges the family members, while enabling the extraction of the individual models. In this context however, a 150% model may no longer conform to the original metamodel o...
متن کاملSynthetic Modeling of Cultural Language Evolution
Recently cultural theories of language evolution have gained significant momentum in explaining natural language. This paper reviews agent-based modeling, one of the key methodologies which is in part responsible for these developments. We discuss the most important challenges for a theory of cultural language evolution and the resulting dominant experimental paradigm. The discussion is framed ...
متن کاملModeling interactions between language evolution and demography.
In this article I provide a review of studies that have modeled interactions between language evolution and demographic processes. The models are classified in terms of three different approaches: analytical modeling, agent-based analytical modeling, and agent-based cognitive modeling. I show that these approaches differ in the complexity of interactions that they can handle and that the agent-...
متن کاملModeling the cultural evolution of language.
The paper surveys recent research on language evolution, focusing in particular on models of cultural evolution and how they are being developed and tested using agent-based computational simulations and robotic experiments. The key challenges for evolutionary theories of language are outlined and some example results are discussed, highlighting models explaining how linguistic conventions get ...
