Modeling the emergence of a new language: Naming Game with hybridization Lorenzo Pucci 1 , Pietro Gravino 2,3 , Vito D.P. Servedio 2 1 Phys. Dept., Univ. Federico II, Complesso Monte S.

Dept. , Alma Mater Studior um, Univ. of Bologna, Italy July 4, 2013 Abstract In recent times, the research eld of language dynamics has focused on the investigation of language evolution, dividing the work in three evolutive steps , accord ing to the level of complex ity: lexicon , categories and gram- mar. The Naming Game is a simple model capable of accoun ting for the emergence of a lexicon, intended as the set of words through which objects are named. We introduce a stochastic modication of the Naming Game model with the aim of characterizing the emergence of a new language as the result of the interac tion of agents. We x the initial phase by splitting the population in two sets speaking either language A or B. Whenever the result of the interaction of two individuals results in an agent able to speak both A and B, we introduce a nite probabi lity that this state turns into a new idiom C, so to mimic a sort of hybridiz ation process . We study the system in the space of parameters dening the interaction, and show that the proposed model displays a rich variety of behaviours, despite the simple mean eld topology of interactions. 1 Emer gence of a lex ic on as a la ngua ge The modeling activity of language dynamics aims at describing language evo- lution as the global eect of the local interactions between individuals in a population of N agents, who tend to align their verbal behavior locally, by a negotiation process through which a successful communication is achieved [1, 2]. In this framework, the emergence of a particular communication system is not due to an external coordination, or a common psychological background, but it simply occurs as a convergence eect in the dynamical processes that start from an initial condition with no existing words (agents having to invent them), or with no agreement. Our work is based on the Naming Game (NG) model, and on its assump- tions [3]. In Fig. 1 we reca ll the NG bas ic pairwise inte rac tio n sc heme. A fundamental assumption of NG is that vocabulary evolution associated to every The nal publication will be available at http://www.springer.com/lncs 1   a   r    X    i   v   :    1    3    0    7  .    0    9    5    7   v    1    [   p    h   y   s    i   c   s  .   s   o   c     p    h    ]    3    J   u    l    2    0    1    3
