Word-Waves: A Computational Model of Lexical Semantic Change.
Clarke, David D.; Nerlich, Brigitte
Language and Communication, v11 n3 p227-38 1991
Three computational models that track patterns in semantic change over time are described. The models were used to investigate whether certain word properties (e.g., frequency of use, accessibility) and the relationships between them would be sufficient in themselves to produce some patterns of change.
