Modeling Language Shift
Inferring Learning Strategies from Cultural Frequency Data
Inference of Cultural Transmission Modes Based on Incomplete Information
In this article we explore the theoretical limits of the inference of cultural transmission modes based on sparse population-level data. We approach this problem by investigating whether different transmission modes produce different temporal dynamics of cultural change. In particular, we explore whether different transmission modes result in sufficiently different distributions of the average time a variant stays the most common variant in the p…
Cultural Evolution of Language
This chapter argues that an evolutionary cultural approach to language not only has already proven fruitful, but it probably holds the key to understand many puzzling aspects of language, its change and origins.The chapter begins by highlighting several still common misconceptions about language that might seem to call into question a cultural evolutionary approach.It explores the antiquity of language and sketches a general evolutionary approach…
Women Who Know Their Place: Sex-Based Differences in Spatial Abilities and Their Evolutionary Significance
Ceramic diversity, random copying, and tests for selectivity in ceramic production
Demography and Language Competition
Attempts to describe language competition and extinction in a mathematical way have enjoyed increased popularity recently. In this paper I review recent modeling approaches and, based on these findings, propose a model of reaction-diffusion type. I analyze the dynamics of interactions of a population with two monolingual groups and a group that is bilingual in these two languages. The results show that demographic factors, such as population grow…
