Meaning and Form in a Language Computer Simulation

Soeren Wichmann, Dietrich Stauffer, Christian Schulze +2

Thousands of different forms (words) are associated with thousands of different meanings (concepts) in a language computer model. Reasonable agreement with reality is found for the…

Boundary effects in a three-state modified voter model for languages

T. Hadzibeganovic, D. Stauffer, C. Schulze

The standard three-state voter model is enlarged by including the outside pressure favouring one of the three choices and by adding some biased internal random noise. The Monte Car…

Urban and Scientific Segregation: The Schelling-Ising Model

Dietrich Stauffer, Christian Schulze

Urban segregation of different communities, like blacks and whites in the USA, has been simulated by Ising-like models since Schelling 1971. This research was accompanied by a scie…

Language simulation after a conquest

Christian Schulze, Dietrich Stauffer

When a region is conquered by people speaking another language, we assume within the Schulze model that at each iteration each person with probability s shifts to the conquering la…

Inhomogeneous and self-organised temperature in Schelling-Ising model

Katharina Muller, Christian Schulze, Dietrich Stauffer

The Schelling model of 1971 is a complicated version of a square-lattice Ising model at zero temperature, to explain urban segregation, based on the neighbour preferences of the re…

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…
