利用SSWL世界语言句法参数数据库和MIT媒体实验室关于语言交互作用的数据,我们构建了一个语言进化的自旋玻璃模型。我们把二进制语法参数作为自旋状态,语言作为图的顶点,并沿沿着边分配相互作用能。我们研究一个粗略的语法演化模型,假设一个强大的相互作用能往往会导致参数对齐,在铁磁材料的情况下。我们还研究了如何自旋玻璃模型需要进行修改,以解释语法参数之间的蕴涵关系。这种修改自然会导致与外部磁场的Potts模型的推广,其中包括在伊辛模型和Potts模型的顶点耦合与q=3,具有相同的边缘相互作用。我们描述了这些模型的动态模拟的结果,在不同的温度和能量制度。我们讨论的物理模型的参数的语言解释。
Using the SSWL database of syntactic parameters of world languages, and the MIT Media Lab data on language interactions, we construct a spin glass model of language evolution. We treat binary syntactic parameters as spin states, with languages as vertices of a graph, and assigned interaction energies along the edges. We study a rough model of syntax evolution, under the assumption that a strong interaction energy tends to cause parameters to align, as in the case of ferromagnetic materials. We also study how the spin glass model needs to be modified to account for entailment relations between syntactic parameters. This modification leads naturally to a generalization of Potts models with external magnetic field, which consists of a coupling at the vertices of an Ising model and a Potts model with q=3, that have the same edge interactions. We describe the results of simulations of the dynamics of these models, in different temperature and energy regimes. We discuss the linguistic interpretation of the parameters of the physical model.
