We investigate a society with two official languages: A, shared by all individuals and B, spoken by a bilingual mirority. Thus, it is only B that needs t increase its population share, and therefore, only the language dynamics that derive from the intearctions that occur inside the bilingual...

Several models have been proposed to study the dynamics of competition between languages. Among them, and starting from the dynamics of endangered languages, recent approaches have addressed the issue of bilingualism. Along these lines we consider the dynamics of language use, allowing for...

Time evolution of the relative density of speakers of an endangered language, Aromanian, which is spoken by a bilingual community in North-Western Greece, is approached theoretically by means of a two-state model and a three-state model. The same prestige and volatility parameters are used in...

We use cellular automata simulation methods to study the competition between two languages (language A and B). We assume each of the two languages consists of F independent features and define an individual as two F-length “identity level” integer strings. The value of each integer of the...

Competition between languages or cultural traits diffusing in the same geographical area is studied combining the model of Abrams and Strogatz with a model of human dispersal on an inhomogeneous substrate. Also, the effect of population growth is discussed. It is shown through numerical...

We have recently investigated the evolution of linguistic diversity by means of a simple spatial model that considers selective geographic colonization, linguistic anomalous diffusion and mutation. In the model, regions of the lattice are characterized by the amount of resources available to...
