Learning symbols and their arrangement in language involves learning associations across
and within modalities. Research on implicit learning and chunking within modalities (eg NC …

Each of us as language learners had different language experiences, yet somehow we have
converged upon broadly the same language system. From diverse, often noisy samples, we …

Linguistic adaptation is a phenomenon where language representations change in
response to linguistic input. Adaptation can occur on multiple linguistic levels such as …

Cognitive Linguistics proposes that First Language Acquisition (L1A) involves the
acquisition from language usage of constructions that map linguistic form and function. In …

It is generally agreed that there are three quite different types of human learning: implicit
learning (a non-conscious, automatic abstraction of structure); explicit learning (where, as in …

As the coiner of the term “implicit learning” in the early 1960's, 1 I've enjoyed seeing how the
study of unconscious cognitive processes has developed. While the focus of this collection …

The articles in this special issue explore how the acquisition of linguistic constructions as
form–function mappings is affected by the distribution and saliency of forms in oral input, by …

This chapter examines to what extent Krashen's (1981) distinction between acquired
(implicit) and learned (explicit) knowledge can be upheld from a usage-based view on first …

This article revisits earlier proposals that language learning is, in essence, the learning of
formulaic sequences and their interpretations; that this occurs at all levels of granularity from …

This article shows how language processing is intimately tuned to input frequency.
Examples are given of frequency effects in the processing of phonology, phonotactics …
