Vocabulary networks workshop 5: Modelling vocabulary attrition in a network

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This paper is part 5 of a series of workshops that examines the properties of some simple models of vocabulary networks. While previous workshops dealt with activating words in the network, this workshop focuses on vocabulary loss. We will simulate two possible ways of modelling attrition: (a) explicitly turning active words OFF, and (b) raising the activation threshold of a few words in a network. The workshop is linked to an online practice room where readers can explore these processes for themselves.
