Computer simulation of languages is an old subject, but since the paper of Abrams and Strogatz (2003) several physics groups independently took up this field. We shortly review their work and bring more details on our own simulations.

209 Labanotation is widely known symbolic language for recording and describing human movement. Through the use of interactive computer graphics a Laban score can be described to the computer and a simulation of the movement viewed on a CRT in terms of a simple computer graphics model of a human form. The Laban score is entered by means of an acoustical tablet with visual feedback of the score ...

Computers have been used for language teaching ever since the 1960's.Learning a second language is a challenging endeavor, and, for decades now, proponents of computer assisted language learning (CALL) have declared that help is on the horison. We investigate the suitability of deploying speech technology in computer based systems that can be used to teach foreign language skills. In this case,...
