Balancing effort and information transmission during language acquisition: Evidence from word order and case marking
Across languages of the world, some grammatical patterns have been argued to be more
common than expected by chance. These are sometimes referred to as (statistical) language …

Language learning, language use and the evolution of linguistic variation
Linguistic universals arise from the interaction between the processes of language learning
and language use. A test case for the relationship between these factors is linguistic …

Putting old tools to novel uses: The role of form accessibility in semantic extension
Z Harmon, V Kapatsinski - Cognitive Psychology, 2017 - Elsevier
An increase in frequency of a form has been argued to result in semantic extension (Bybee,
2003; Zipf, 1949). Yet, research on the acquisition of lexical semantics suggests that a form …

Adult regularization of inconsistent input depends on pragmatic factors
A Perfors - Language Learning and Development, 2016 - Taylor & Francis
In a variety of domains, adults who are given input that is only partially consistent do not
discard the inconsistent portion (regularize) but rather maintain the probability of consistent …
