Variation and change in contact settings

Our model is an extension of the USM for language change (Baxter et al., 2006) that takes into account potentially bilingual agents and models a priming effect between a group

A further correlation exists between word classes and the overall rates of contact words in bilingual speech corpora: those with over 20% contact words exhibit greater word

The changes could be broken into various types such as: (i) a change in basic functioning, with new categorization principles; (ii) a change in the actual inventory of

Typologically, Sinitic languages are tonal languages which show analytic or isolating features, though in some Min languages, for example, the development of case markers

This is evidenced by the fact that Evenki, which is spoken in contact with Mongolic languages and Sakha, is the sole Tungusic language to have completed such a shift; the

In particular, we derive a new efficient and reliable residual-type a posteriori error estimator for static contact problems and a new space-time connecting discretization scheme

Our hypothesis is that speakers whose L1 has prosodic marking of every content word by stress or tone will also tend to segment the speech flow in French according to lexical

In Scenario 2, when two agents of different groups interact, at each interaction, they choose language A with probability p and language B... Here p = 0.5 and the two languages
