Phase transitions in a decentralized graph-based approach to human language
Javier Vera, Felipe Urbina, Wenceslao Palma
Zipf's law establishes a scaling behavior for word-frequencies in large text corpora. The appearance of Zipfian properties in human language has been previously explained as an opt…
A decentralized route to the origins of scaling in human language
Felipe Urbina, Javier Vera
The Zipf's law establishes that if the words of a (large) text are ordered by decreasing frequency, the frequency versus the rank decreases as a power law with exponent close to $-…
Self-organization of vocabularies under different interaction orders
Javier Vera
Traditionally, the formation of vocabularies has been studied by agent-based models (specially, the Naming Game) in which random pairs of agents negotiate word-meaning associations…
Modeling self-organization of vocabularies under phonological similarity effects
Javier Vera
This work develops a computational model (by Automata Networks) of phonological similarity effects involved in the formation of word-meaning associations on artificial populations…
Automata networks for multi-party communication in the Naming Game
Javier Vera, Pedro Montealegre, Eric Goles
The Naming Game has been studied to explore the role of self-organization in the development and negotiation of linguistic conventions. In this paper, we define an automata network…
Automata networks for memory loss effects in the formation of linguistic conventions
Javier Vera, Eric Goles
This work attempts to give new theoretical insights to the absence of intermediate stages in the evolution of language. In particular, it is developed an automata networks approach…
