Abstract:

This book offers insights on the study of natural language as a complex
adaptive system. It discusses a new way to tackle the problem of language
modeling, and provides clues on how the close relation between natural
language and some biological structures can be very fruitful for science. The
book examines the theoretical framework and then applies its main principles
to various areas of linguistics. It discusses applications in language
contact, language change, diachronic linguistics, and the potential
enhancement of classical approaches to historical linguistics by means of new
methodologies used in physics, biology, and agent systems theory. It shows how
studying language evolution and change using computational simulations enables
to integrate social structures in the evolution of language, and how this can
give rise to a new way to approach sociolinguistics. Finally, it explores
applications for discourse analysis, semantics and cognition.
