A model of phase-coupled delay equations for the dynamics of word usage
Alejandro Pardo Pintos, Diego Shalom, Enzo Tagliazucchi +2
Cycles of word usage have been described using an integro-differential Volterra model close to a Hopf bifurcation. Here we transform this system to a phase model, which allows us t…

Fading of collective attention shapes the evolution of linguistic variants
Diego E Shalom, Mariano Sigman, Gabriel Mindlin +1
Language change involves the competition between alternative linguistic forms (1). The spontaneous evolution of these forms typically results in monotonic growths or decays (2, 3)…

Vocal effort modulates the motor planning of short speech structures
Alan Taitz, Diego E Shalom, Marcos A Trevisan
Speech requires programming the sequence of vocal gestures that produce the sounds of words. Here we explored the timing of this program by asking our participants to pronounce, as…
