我们提出了一个随机模型来研究语音变化，这是由两组具有不同语音系统的个体之间的社交相互作用驱动的进化过程。 /在模型中观察到的拉丁语词根。基于此，我们将模型正式化为人口动态问题，得出平均场近似中进化的方程卡斯蒂利亚语言和其他浪漫语言的语言。
We propose a stochastic model to study phonetic changes as an evolutionary process driven by social interactions between two groups of individuals with different phonological systems. Particularly, we focus on the changes in the place of articulation, inspired by the drift /Φ/→/h/ observed in some words of Latin root in the Castilian language. In the model, each agent is characterized by a variable of three states, representing the place of articulation used during speech production. In this frame, we propose stochastic rules of interactions among agents which lead to phonetic imitation and consequently to changes in the articulation place. Based on this, we mathematically formalize the model as a problem of population dynamics, derive the equations of evolution in the mean-field approximation, and study the emergence of three nontrivial global states, which can be linked to the pattern of phonetic changes observed in the language of Castile and in other Romance languages.
