Title: The Impact of Social Structure on Language Structure
Abstract:
The present research advances our understanding of the role of social structure in shaping the ways that language changes over time. We focus on two theories regarding the forces that shape language change: the universal benefit hypothesis, where languages become easier so everyone can comprehend; and the insider benefit hypothesis, where languages change in ways that benefit only members of the specific members of the language community, becoming more difficult for outsiders to comprehend. Study 1 (N= 48) investigated social structure's influence on language structure. Results did not cleanly align with either hypothesis, but this pattern may have been due to the limited time of existence for the two systems. Study 2 (N= 48) investigated an outsider's comprehension on different types of semiotic systems. Results were consistent with the insider benefit hypothesis which states that language was created to benefit insiders and evolved for easy usability. Study 3 (N= 51) investigated an insider's and outsider's comprehensibility of improvised and established semiotic systems at different length of existence. Results were again consistent with the insider benefit.
Keywords: language, social structure, universal benefit, insider benefit

Claire T. Carney Library Associates Speaker Series
- Location: Claire T. Carney Library, Stoico/FIRST FED Charitable Foundation Grand Reading Room
- Contact: Carney Library Associates
- Description: Columnist Susan Pawlak Seaman will speak at 4 pm in the
Grand Reading Room hosted by the Claire T. Carney Library Associates. The event is open to the public. Refreshments will be served!
After forty-five years of editing and writing for the new Bedford Standard-Times, Susan Pawlak Seaman posted her final column "Live and Learn" on May 3, 2020. Her own story began at Apponequet HS where she posted articles about learning through a student's eyes. Eagerly working in the
paper's Middleboro bureau, Susan fell in love with journalism there, charting a new course as an English Major at Stonehill College, graduating 1974. She earned journalistic kudos for her steady, sensitive reportage in Middleboro through the seventies. After a tour of duty for the Standard-Times in Fairhaven, she at last emerged as an editor/columnist, married to the multitalented Standard-Times photographer Hank Seaman in October of '78. Their life together, along with extraordinary personal stories about life in the city of Melville and Douglass became a precious narrative for readers of the Standard-Times, and for WCVB-TV, The Brockton Enterprise, Taunton Daily Gazette, Fall River Herald News , and the FireRescue1.com digital network.
