| dc.description.abstract | Variations in group sub-languages evolve
quickly and are a key marker of social
boundaries such as those between professions,
workgroups, tribes and families. In
this paper we present a quantitative analysis
of the effects of group structure on language
use in naturalistic interaction. The
data come from text chat interactions in
an online social community. Using statistical
techniques developed for the analysis
of authorship attribution we use this
corpus to test three accounts of the emergence
of group sub-languages: a) local coordination
mechanisms b) network topology
and c) influential individuals. The results
indicate that it is influential individuals
who have the strongest effects on sublanguage
convergence. | en |
