Contents:
Frontmatter -- Contents -- Acknowledgements -- Experience counts: An introduction to frequency effects in language -- Explaining variation in plural marking of German noun insertions in Russian sentences -- Hesitation placement as evidence for chunking -- Recency as a factor of phonological variation -- Frequency effects in lexical sociolectometry are insubstantial -- Input optimization -- Modeling frequency effects in language change -- Frequency and lexical specificity in grammar: A critical review -- Frequency in language learning and language change
Summary: Frequency has been identified as one of the most influential factors in language processing, and plays a major role in usage-based models of language learning and language change. The research presented in this volume challenges established models of linguistic representation. Instead of learning and processing language compositionally, larger units and co-occurence relations are at work. The main point taken by the authors is that by studying the effect of distributional patterns and changes in such patterns we can establish a unified framework that explains the dynamics of language systems with a limited set of processing factors.
