Language Change

This project is a Mesa implementation of the NetLogo Language Change model: NetLogo Language Change model

This project uses Mesa to run interactive language change model applications with different grammar configurations.

Setup

1. Create and activate a virtual environment:

   python3 -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate

2. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Running the Apps

• 2 Grammars:
  Run the main app with two grammars:

  solara run app.py

• 3 Grammars:
  Run the app with three grammars:

  solara run 3_app.py

Running the experiments

• 2 Grammars:
  Run the main batch of experiments with two grammars:

  python3 batch_run.py

• 3 Grammars:
  Run the main batch of experiments with three grammars:

  python3 3_batch_run.py
