    "abstract": "This paper presents the results of the application of a bit-string model of\nlanguages (Schulze and Stauffer 2005) to problems of taxonomic patterns. The\nquestions addressed include the following: (1) Which parameters are minimally\nne eded for the development of a taxonomic dynamics leading to the type of\ndistribution of language family sizes currently attested (as measured in the i\nnumber of languages per family), which appears to be a power-law? (2) How may\nsuch a model be coupled with one of the dynamics of speaker populations leading\nto the type of language size seen today, which appears to follow a log-normal\ndistribution?",
