This paper presents a model of lexical alignment in communication. The aim is to provide a reference model for simulating dialogs in naming game-related simulations of language evolution. We introduce a network model of alignment to shed light on the law-like dynamics of dialogs in contrast to their random counterpart. That way, the paper provides evidence on alignment to be used as reference data in building simulation models of dyadic conversations.
