Population-level neutral model already explains linguistic patterns.
In customizing the neutral model for language transmission , Reali & Griffiths [1] have added a new, 'Bayesian' learning interpretation to a neutral model that has been used in cultural evolution studies for some time (e.g. [2 –6]). While Reali & Griffiths [1, p. 435] dismiss previous applications of this neutral model as being used merely 'as a metaphor', it has been explored in quantitative d...
متن کاملLearning Linguistic Patterns
Can an understanding of general cognitive processes, such as categorization, shed light on the vexed question of how children come to know the basic grammar of a language? Language has appeared to be too complex and the input too impoverished to be learnable on the basis of the input and general cognitive processes; humans therefore have been thought to bring to the task representations that ar...
متن کاملMating ecology explains patterns of genome elimination
Genome elimination - whereby an individual discards chromosomes inherited from one parent, and transmits only those inherited from the other parent - is found across thousands of animal species. It is more common in association with inbreeding, under male heterogamety, in males, and in the form of paternal genome elimination. However, the reasons for this broad pattern remain unclear. We develo...
متن کاملNeutral model analysis of patterns of marine benthic species diversity
Caswell (1976) proposed a neutral model which calculates a theoretical diversity for a sample of a given number of individuals and species assuming no biological interactions between species. Disagreement with the neutral model predictions have been suggested as a method of detecting disturbance or stress. To test these theoretical considerations, 98 samples of marine benthic organisms were sub...
متن کاملA phonetically neutral model of the low-level audiovisual interaction
The improvement of detectability by visible speech cues found by Grant and Seitz (JASA, 108:1197-1208, 2000) has been related to the degree of correlation between acoustic envelopes and visible movements. This suggests that the audio and visual signals could interact early during the audio-visual perceptual process on the basis of audio envelope cues. On the other hand, acoustic-visual correlat...
