Tiago Pimentel, Brian Roark, Søren Wichmann +2
This work presents an information-theoretic operationalisation of cross-linguistic non-arbitrariness. It is not a new idea that there are small, cross-linguistic associations betwe…
The emerging field of language dynamics
S. Wichmann
A simple review by a linguist, citing many articles by physicists: Quantitative methods, agent-based computer simulations, language dynamics, language typology, historical linguist…
Do language change rates depend on population size?
Soeren Wichmann, Dietrich Stauffer, Christian Schulze +1
An earlier study (Nettle 1999b) concluded, based on computer simulations and some inferences from empirical data, that languages will change the more slowly the larger the populati…
On the relation between structural diversity and geographical distance among languages: observations and computer simulations
Eric W. Holman, Christian Schulze, Dietrich Stauffer +1
The recent availability of larger typological databases such as Haspelmath et al. (2005) has brought the linguistics community closer to having a solid, empirical foundation for ma…
Modelling linguistic taxonomic dynamics
Soren Wichmann, Dietrich Stauffer, F. Welington S. Lima +1
