本文介绍了一些简单的词汇磨蚀模拟模型。采用随机自治布尔网络模型对磨损过程进行了建模，并与真实的磨损数据进行了比较。本文认为，应用复杂系统的方法，自然减员可以提供一些重要的见解，这表明，真实的自然减员数据可能需要谨慎对待。它的结论是，模拟方法-一种在应用语言学研究中没有被广泛使用的技术-可能能够对磨蚀产生有趣的新的认识，并提供一种方法来检验我们在人类受试者的磨蚀实验中认为理所当然的一些假设。
This paper describes some simple simulation models of vocabulary attrition. The attrition process is modelled using a random autonomous Boolean network model, and some parallels with real attrition data are drawn. The paper argues that applying a complex systems approach to attrition can provide some important insights, which suggest that real attrition data may need to be treated with caution. It concludes that simulation methods - a technique that is not widely used in applied linguistic research - may be able to throw interesting new light on attrition, and provide a way of examining some of the assumptions that we take for granted in attrition experiments with human subjects.
