Viability of an elementary syntactic structure in a population playing naming gamesdoi.orgPDF
E Brigatti
Physical Review E 86(2):026107, 2012
The study of the evolution of languages and their structures has generated a very rich debate spanning different disciplines and approaches. The ideas developed in the linguistic community, which introduced the thesis of considering some linguistic structures as innate ...

Conventions spreading in open-ended systemsdoi.orgPDF
E Brigatti, I Roditi
New Journal of Physics 11(023018), 2009
We introduce a simple open-ended model that describes the emergence of a shared vocabulary. The ordering transition toward consensus is generated only by an agreement mechanism. This interaction defines a finite and small number of states, despite each individual having the ...MORE ⇓
We introduce a simple open-ended model that describes the emergence of a shared vocabulary. The ordering transition toward consensus is generated only by an agreement mechanism. This interaction defines a finite and small number of states, despite each individual having the ability to invent an unlimited number of new words. The existence of a phase transition is studied by analyzing the convergence times, the cognitive efforts of the agents and the scaling behavior in memory and time.

Consequence of reputation in an open-ended naming gamedoi.orgPDF

Physical Review E 78(4):046108, 2008
We study a modified version of the naming game, a recently introduced model which describes how shared vocabulary can emerge spontaneously in a population without any central control. In particular, we introduce a mechanism that allows a continuous interchange with the external ...MORE ⇓
We study a modified version of the naming game, a recently introduced model which describes how shared vocabulary can emerge spontaneously in a population without any central control. In particular, we introduce a mechanism that allows a continuous interchange with the external inventory of words. A playing strategy, influenced by the hierarchical structure that individuals' reputation defines in the community, is implemented. We analyze how these features influence the convergence times, the cognitive efforts of the agents, and the scaling behavior in memory and time.
