Abstract

Computer model has been extensively adopted to overcome the time limitation of language evolution by transforming language theory into physical modelling mechanism, which helps to explore the general laws of evolution. In this paper, a model is designed to simulate the evolution process of languages in human settlements, with the associated network topology being lattice. The language of each node in the lattice will evolve gradually under the influence of its own fixed evolutionary direction and neighbours. According to the computational experiment results, it is discovered that the state points of languages always converge into several clusters during the evolution process, which gives us an insight into language evolution.

论粒子系统自然进化中聚类的普遍性:以人类语言为例
计算机模型通过将语言理论转化为物理建模机制,克服了语言进化的时间限制,有助于探索语言进化的一般规律,已被广泛采用。本文设计了一个模拟人类聚居区语言演变过程的模型,相关网络拓扑结构为网格。网格中每个节点的语言都会在自身固定的进化方向和相邻节点的影响下逐渐进化。根据计算实验结果,我们发现语言的状态点在进化过程中总是汇聚成若干个群,这给我们提供了语言进化的启示。
