The role of population structure in language evolution
نویسندگان
چکیده
The question of language evolution is of interest to linguistics, biology and recently, engineering communicating networks. Previous work on these problems has focused mostly on a fully-connected population. We are extending this study to structured populations, which are generally more realistic and offer rich opportunities for linguistic diversification. Our work focuses on the convergence properties of a spatially structured population of learners acquiring a language from one another. We investigate several metrics, including mean language coherence and the critical learning fidelity threshold.

متن کاملOn subalgebras of an evolution algebra of a "chicken" population
We consider an evolution algebra which corresponds to a bisexual population with a set of females partitioned into finitely many different types and the males having only one type. For such algebras in terms of its structure constants we calculate right and plenary periods of generator elements. Some results on subalgebras of EACP and ideals on low-dimensional EACP are obtained.

Lacking analytical tools to fathom the cr...
