The effect of cultural transmission on shared sign language persistence
K. Mudd, C. D. Vos, et al.
This research by Katie Mudd, Connie de Vos, and Bart de Boer explores a mathematical model of sign language persistence, reimplemented as an agent-based simulation. Key findings reveal that hearing signers and diverse cultural transmission modes significantly enhance the persistence of shared sign languages, challenging previous assumptions in the field.
