The naming game (NG) describes the agreement dynamics of a population of agents that
interact locally in a pairwise fashion, and in recent years statistical physics tools and …

Social conventions govern countless behaviors all of us engage in every day, from how we
greet each other to the languages we speak. But how can shared conventions emerge …

In sociology, interest in modelling has not yet become widespread. However, the
methodology has been gaining increased attention in parallel with its growing popularity in …

The present contribution reviews a set of different versions of the basic naming game model,
differing in the underlying topology or in the mechanisms regulating the interactions …

Human language provides a highly efficient communication system, which emerged due to
cultural interactions. To understand this still mysterious process, various interdisciplinary …

We examine a naming game on an adaptive weighted network. A weight of connection for a
given pair of agents depends on their communication success rate and determines the …

The naming game (NG) describes the agreement dynamics of a population of N agents
interacting locally in pairs leading to the emergence of a shared vocabulary. This model has …

This chapter focuses on how dyadic agent-based communication games are used to
investigate language evolution. We start by putting communication games in historical and …

The well known Naming Game [1, 2] is a multi-agent model in which the individuals perform
pairwise interactions to negotiate the forms to be associated with a set of meanings. No …

In this paper, we study the role of degree mixing in the naming game. It is found that
consensus can be accelerated on disassortative networks. We provide a qualitative …
