Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Simulation studies have played an important role in language evolution. Although a variety of methodologies have been proposed so far, they are typically too abstract to recognize that their learning mechanisms properly reflect actual ones. One reason comes from the lack of empirical data recorded for a long period with explicit description. Our purpose in this paper is to show simulation models adapt to actual language change. As empirical diachronic data, we focus on a statutory corpus. In general, statutes define important legal terms with explanatory sentences, which are also revised by amendment. This study consists of 3 tasks: compiling a legal term ontology, developing a drawing tool for diachronic change in legal terms, and simulation modeling with actual language change. We successfully extracted legal terms, their explanations, and their relations. We found 27,737 terms and 36,698 relation. We showed this database is useful in the study of language evolution.
