Modelling language change in social networks in Python

Updated: 20190506

In this project, it would be divided into two parts. In the first part, a computational model which was proposed in the study of Fagyal, Swarup, Escobar, Gasser, & Lakkaraju (2010) would be replicated in pure Python. Their study mainly aims to investigate the dynamics of language change in different social networks using agent-based model. In the second part, I would attempt to extend this original model, such as testing it with a real-world network.

snap===4.1.0-dev-Win-x64-py2.7
matplotlib==2.1.1
numpy==1.11.3
pandas==0.23.4
tqdm==4.31.1
