This newspaper comprehensively reports from foreign media The official website of the University of Pennsylvania issued an article on February 29th,University researchers reveal how bet365 coupon code words already present in a language influenced the evolution of that language,And how the number and meaning of bet365 coupon code words has changed over time。Relevant research results have been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences。
Studies have shown,bet365 coupon code words are affected by two factors,i.e. the way people perceive bet365 coupon code and the extent to which they need or want to communicate about a given bet365 coupon code。For example,A 2021 study found,There is a high demand for red and yellow-related vocabulary in cross-language communication,And green is important in some languages。Today,Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have discovered another factor that affects bet365 coupon code words—history。
Researchers note,If two people who speak the same language play a guessing game together and each has the same bet365 coupon code sample,A person describing a bet365 coupon code,While the other person tries to guess which bet365 coupon code it is,If the second person can always give the correct answer or give an answer very close to the correct answer,This shows that their language has a valid bet365 coupon code naming system。
American anthropologist Brent Berlin and linguist Paul Kay co-founded the "World bet365 coupon code Survey" (World bet365 coupon code Survey,WCS) Research Plan,Select 110 languages and 25 users of each language,These users were asked to describe the same set of 330 colors,It turns out that speakers of each language use specific ways to describe colors。For example,Some languages may only have black bet365 coupon code、Red、Basic bet365 coupon code words such as white,But its user uses the bet365 coupon code of the leaves、Describe the bet365 coupon code by the bet365 coupon code of the sky, etc.。
University of Pennsylvania researchers use data from the World bet365 coupon code Survey,Explores how new bet365 coupon code words are introduced into various languages,And as the number of bet365 coupon code words increases,The probability that the meaning of a given word changes。For example,If the new word is determined to correspond to blue,The words originally corresponding to green and blue may be converted to corresponding to green。Results found,With the introduction of new words,The meanings of green-blue and blue can easily change,And red、The meanings of black and yellow are relatively stable。
Researchers believe,History affects how people are classified,The classification mentioned here includes both consumer goods、Classification of weather conditions, etc.,Also includes bet365 coupon code classification。In various languages,The classification of colors is based on communication needs、Produced under historical conditions and efficiency principles。Recognizing this can help people understand how naming has been done historically、Classify and communicate various things,It can also be based on the current status of a language,Deduction related history,Judge bet365 coupon code words used in ancient times,Then compare it with the literature records、Verification。
In addition,Researchers also proposed,If a language community already has a valid bet365 coupon code word,Then the possibility of creating a new word or introducing a new term to describe a new bet365 coupon code would be limited。The principle of this phenomenon is similar to the principle of evolutionary biology,In other words,Compared with the possible evolutionary paths of newly emerged species,The effective future evolutionary paths of existing species are limited。The more bet365 coupon code words in a language,The less likely it is to create or introduce new bet365 coupon code words。
