Basic principles of self-organization in language

Wolfgang Wildgen

pp. 415-426

This article discusses three levels on which language is outside conscious control and therefore self-organized depending on conditions of the cognitive or the social system (the linguistic community). Three basic types of self-organization are discussed: simple morphogenetic fields which may be modelled by catastrophe theory, dynamic reorganizations and cooperative self-organization showing limit cycles and synergetic principles of slaving.
