Competition, selection and communicative need in language change: an investigation using corpora, computational modelling and experimentation ...
Karjus, Andres. - : The University of Edinburgh, 2021
Abstract: Constant change is one of the few truly universal cross-linguistic properties of living languages. In this thesis I focus on lexical change, and ask why the introduction and spread of some words leads to competition and eventual extinction of words with similar functions, while in other cases semantically similar words are able to companionably co-exist for decades. I start out by using extensive computational simulations to evaluate a recently published method for differentiating selection and drift in language change. While I conclude this particular method still requires improvement to be reliably applicable to historical corpus data, my findings suggest that the approach in general, when properly evaluated, could have considerable future potential for better understanding the interplay of drift, selection and therefore competition in language change. In a series of corpus studies, I argue that the communicative needs of speakers play a significant role in how languages change, as they continue to be ...
