Modelling linguistic taxonomic dynamics.
This paper presents the results of the application of a bit-string model of languages ( Schulze & Stauffer 2005 ) to problems of taxonomic patterns. The questions addressed include the following: (1) Which parameters are minimally needed for the development of a taxonomic dynamics leading to the typ...

The questions addressed include the following: (1) Which parameters are minimally needed for the development of a taxonomic dynamics leading to the type of distribution of language family sizes currently attested (as measured in the number of languages per family), which appears to be a power-law? (2) How may such a model be coupled with one of the dynamics of speaker populations leading to the type of language size seen today, which appears to follow a log-normal distribution? pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2007 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
