A copy as new. - Summary: This book draws from graph theory and a semiotic comparison between language and distributed ledger technologies (also known as Blockchains) to motivate three experiments on language and network structure. The work explores the importance of this concept in different areas of linguistic research and establishes elements of a tentative linguistics of networks. Its empirical investigation is based on data from threads posted to the imageboard Hispachan, which often displays radicalized language and hate speech. The experiments (based on topic modeling and sentiment analysis) reveal an impact of the network structure of interaction on the interaction itself as well as the use of ingroup signalling and emotionally charged vocabulary to expand the network of interaction. - Inhalt: Introduction -- Linguistics and Technology -- Enrichment of the Linguists' Toolbox -- The Emergence of New Linguistic Fields -- Technology Becomes Theory - The Computer Metaphor -- The Computer Metaphor in Linguistics -- Artificial Neural Networks -- Generative Transformational Grammar and Automata Theory -- Approach and Structure -- A Semiotics of the Blockchain? -- Terminology - What Is the Blockchain? -- Distributed Ledger Technology - DLT -- Blockchain -- Cryptocurrency -- Bitcoin -- Double Spending -- Proof-of-Work (PoW) -- Consensus as a Problem of Communication -- Semiotic Properties of Consensus -- Representation in Language and Distributed Systems -- Perlocution in Language and Distributed Systems -- Self-Containment of Information in Language and Distributed Systems -- Graph Theory and Network Analysis - Formal Definitions -- Graphs -- Graphs -- Nodes -- Edges -- Paths -- Ledger -- Ledger Implementation - Network Topology -- Linear Topology -- Centralised Topology -- Decentralised Topology -- Fully-Connected Topology -- Distributed Topology -- Network Properties -- Degree Centrality -- Graph Centrality -- Network Density -- P-Regularity -- Diameter -- Achievement of Consensus in Distributed Networks -- The Byzantine Generals Problem in Fully-Connected Networks -- The Oral Messages Algorithm -- The Signed Messages Algorithm -- Non-fully Connected Networks -- Network Theories in Linguistics -- Language Typology -- Cognition and Linguistic Networks -- Semantic Networks -- Syntactic Networks -- Limitations of Linguistic Networks in Individual Cognition -- Social Cognition and Social Networks -- Networks in Language Development -- Cultural Transmission -- Experimental Semiotics -- Concluding Remarks on Social Network Theories -- Online Social Networks -- A Linguistics of Social Networks -- Language as a Complex Adaptive System -- Language as a Solution to the Consensus Problem -- Parallel Fixation of System and Information -- Network Topology as a Typology of Interaction -- Degree Bias -- Identity Bias -- Degree Distribution Bias -- Content Bias -- Concluding Remarks and Experimental Predictions -- Data -- Hispachan - Anonymous Linguistic Interaction Networks -- Data Collection -- Data Pre-processing -- Node-specific Dataset -- Subgraph Dataset -- Dataset - Descriptive Statistics -- Thread Length and Diameter -- Representation of Communities -- Graph Topology -- Node Degrees -- Graph Centralities -- Experiment One - Influence of Network Topology on Consensus -- Materials and Methods -- Analysis -- Results -- Discussion -- Experiment Two - Identity Bias and Secret Handshakes -- Materials and Methods -- Analysis -- Results -- Discussion -- Experiment Three - Content Bias: Expressivity and Local Engagement -- Materials and Methods -- Analysis -- Results -- Discussion -- General Discussion -- Adding to the Network Approach to Language - Ecological Validity -- Internal and External Validity - Adequacy of the Blockchain Semiotics -- Global Graph Topologies and Lack of Distributed Control -- Local Effects and Alternative Communication Strategies - Conclusion.
