Competition of languages in the presence of a barrier

Author

Listed:
  • Schulze, Christian
  • Stauffer, Dietrich

Abstract

Using the Schulze model for Monte Carlo simulations of language competition, we include a barrier between the top half and the bottom half of the lattice. We check under which conditions two different languages evolve as dominating in the two halves.
