语言创新的空间扩散的既定模型在它们与人口密度的关系上各不相同。重力模型（Trudgill，1974年）的扩散概率对沉降规模敏感，与传统波浪模型之间的预测差异可能具有挑战性，因为难以进行大规模和细粒度的地理采样。本文测试的适用性来自Twitter的数据在建立扩散模式。使用两个案例研究，从英国英语的变化，在实现双及物动词，介词下降withgo-我们建议（当地）人口密度和语言相似性之间的相关性，地理邻居可以被用来作为衡量个人创新的层次模式。
Established models of the spatial diffusion of linguistic innovations vary in their relationship to population density. Differences in prediction between the gravity models (Trudgill 1974), in which probability of diffusion is sensitive to settlement size, and the traditional wave models can be challenging to test due to the difficulty of large-scale and finely-grained geographical sampling. This paper tests the suitability of data derived from Twitter in establishing diffusion patterns. Using two case studies from British English – variation in the realisation of ditransitives, and preposition drop withgo– we propose that the correlation between (local) population density and linguistic similarity to geographical neighbours can be used as a measure of hierarchical patterning for an individual innovation.
