An agent-based model of a historical word order change
نویسندگان
چکیده
We aim to demonstrate that agent-based models can be a useful tool for historical linguists, by modeling the historical development of verbal cluster word order in Germanic languages. Our results show that the current order in German may have developed due to increased use of subordinate clauses, while the English order is predicted to be influenced by the grammaticalization of the verb to have. The methodology we use makes few assumptions, making it broadly applicable to other phenomena of language change.

متن کاملLanguage Change as a Source of Word Order Correlations∗
Typological work has demonstrated that there are constraints on word order variation. For example, auxiliary verbs tend to precede content verbs in VO languages (Dryer 1992). Further, typologically recurrent structural preferences are reflected in language change. In this paper, we present agent-based modeling work that suggests that Filtered Learning Models (e.g. Kirby 1999) can capture the em...
