社会动态驱动的语言演化

Evolution of language driven by social dynamics

AI总结:

本研究探讨语言竞争中濒危语言存续的影响因素,发现相互荣誉感阈值决定语言共存或灭绝,过度偏袒会导致语言消亡,且平均场近似中磁化参数可指示语言存续状态。

摘要:

濒危语言在复杂语言竞争中的存续取决于语言之间的社会文化地位,以及(自身和对方赋予的)荣誉感。这种荣誉感的认可受限会导致一种语言灭绝、另一种语言崛起。双方给予恰当的相互荣誉感会促使语言使用者群体共存,能让两种语言都免于灭绝。而相互尊重的丧失会导致两种语言都消亡。我们发现了可保护两种语言免于灭绝的最小或临界相互荣誉感阈值(a=0.9635)。从该最小值开始提升相互荣誉感,能让两种语言的使用者人口都有所增长。竞争语言的共存状态消解了语言竞争中的少数派与多数派概念,这种共存可通过相互荣誉感实现。此外,对某一特定语言(无论少数还是多数)的过度偏袒式荣誉感会迫使该语言灭绝。在语言竞争的平均场近似中,磁化参数可作为语言存续的指标。

英文摘要:

The survival of endangered languages in complex language competition depends on socio-cultural status and honour endowed (by itself and by the other) among them. The restriction in the endorsement of this honour leads to language extinction of one language, and rise of the other. Endorsing proper mutual honour each other trigger the co-existence of language speakers and can save both languages from extinction. The lost of respect to each other drives the death of both languages. We found a minimal or critical mutual honour (a=0.9635) which protects the two languages from extinction. The increase in mutual honour from this minimal value allows increase in the populations of the two languages speakers. The state of co-existence of competing languages abolishes the concept of minority and majority in language competition which can be obtained by mutual honour. Further, excess biased honour to a particular language (minority or majority) force the language to extinct. In mean-field approximation of language competition, magnetization parameter can be taken as an indicator of survival of a language.
