Abstract

Many realistic scenarios have been considered in the studies of naming games, for example, misunderstandings [1], limited memory sizes [2], and group discussions [3, 4]. Recently, a scenario with multiple languages is considered in [5, 6], useful for community detection. In such a scenario, agents speak different languages, and the population would reach a metastable state when different-language agents reach consensus in their own group, when the underlying network is a community-based one [5,6,7].
