Social Network Limits Language Complexity
Natural languages vary widely in the degree to which they make use of hierarchical composition in their grammars, in particular, the degree to which syntactic versus morphological means of composition are utilized. Languages historically spoken in small communities develop much deeper levels of morphological embedding than those spoken by larger groups, an observation confirmed by a statistical...
متن کاملLimits on ecosystem trophic complexity: insights from ecological network analysis.
Articulating what limits the length of trophic food chains has remained one of the most enduring challenges in ecology. Mere counts of ecosystem species and transfers have not much illumined the issue, in part because magnitudes of trophic transfers vary by orders of magnitude in power-law fashion. We address this issue by creating a suite of measures that extend the basic indexes usually obtai...
متن کاملThe limits of network transparency in a distributed programming language
This dissertation presents a study on the extent and limits of network transparency in distributed programming languages. This property states that the result of a distributed program is the same as if it were executed on a single computer, in the case when no failure occurs. The programming language may also be network aware if it allows the programmer to control how a program is distributed a...
متن کاملLanguage Evolution on a Dynamic Social Network
We study the role of the interaction network in a collaborative learning model known as the classification game. This involves a population of agents collaboratively learning to solve a classification task. We have previously shown that interaction while learning allows the agents to converge upon a simpler solution, which in turns guarantees better generalization. This clearly shows the benefi...
