Estimating transmission noise on networks from stationary local order

Christopher R. Kitching, Henri Kauhanen, Jordan Abbott +3

In this paper we study networks of nodes characterised by binary traits that change both endogenously and through nearest-neighbour interaction. Our analytical results show that th…

A bifurcation threshold for contact-induced language change

Henri Kauhanen

One proposed mechanism of language change concerns the role played by second-language (L2) learners in situations of language contact. If sufficiently many L2 speakers are present…

Replicator-mutator dynamics of linguistic convergence and divergence

Henri Kauhanen

People tend to align their use of language to the linguistic behaviour of their own ingroup and to simultaneously diverge from the language use of outgroups. This paper proposes to…

Stable variation in multidimensional competition

Henri Kauhanen

The Fundamental Theorem of Language Change (Yang, 2000) implies the impossibility of stable variation in the Variational Learning framework, but only in the special case where two,…

Geospatial distributions reflect rates of evolution of features of language

Henri Kauhanen, Deepthi Gopal, Tobias Galla +1

Quantifying the speed of linguistic change is challenging due to the fact that the historical evolution of languages is sparsely documented. Consequently, traditional methods rely…
