I examined mechanisms of lexical diffusion in phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and lexicon in the history of English from a global perspective of complex adaptive system. Interesting principles have been proposed in an attempt to provide an underlying, unified theory of complex adaptive system. These include, selection, self-organization, scaling of parameters, robustness and networks of connections. I discussed that lexical diffusion is the fundamental mechanism of language evolution from the following perspectives : (1)dynamic dialectology and complex adaptive system,(2)small-world networks of the lexicon,(3)S-curve progress, snowball effectand word frequency and(4)ambiguity and robustness. I will publish a book Language Evolution and Complex Adaptive System from Peter Lang in 2011.

本文从复杂适应系统的全局视角出发，从语音、形态、句法、语义和词汇等方面探讨了英语词汇扩散的机制。有趣的原则已被提出，试图提供一个潜在的，统一的理论复杂的适应系统。这些包括，选择，自组织，参数的缩放，鲁棒性和连接网络。本文从动态方言学和复杂适应系统、词汇的小世界网络、S曲线进程、滚雪球效应和词频、歧义性和鲁棒性四个方面论述了词汇扩散是语言进化的基本机制。我将在2011年出版Peter Lang的《语言进化与复杂适应系统》一书。
