报告内容简介：

This report, drawing on cases such as social media, international student exchange programs, and language courses, explores how social networks influence language transmission and second language learning, including the spread of new words, the effect of peer interaction on learning outcomes, and how language is acquired and stabilized within social structures.

The lecture also emphasizes combining computational (quantitative) and anthropological (qualitative) methods to understand the relationship between language, communities, and human behavior from a whole-network perspective, and further addresses broader sociological and anthropological issues such as innovation diffusion, community formation, and social embeddedness.

本报告结合社交媒体、国际学生交换项目及语言课程等案例，探讨社会网络如何影响语言传播与第二语言学习，包括新词的扩散、同伴互动对学习成效的作用，以及语言如何在社交结构中被习得与稳定。讲座同时强调结合计算（定量）与人类学（定性）方法，从整体网络视角理解语言、社群与人类行为之间的关系，并进一步回应创新扩散、社群形成与社会嵌入性等更广泛的社会学与人类学议题。
