• Formulaic Language in Native and Second Language Speakers: Psycholinguistics, Corpus Linguistics, and TESOL (2008, background): “Corpus linguistic research demonstrates that natural language makesconsiderable use of recurrent multiword patterns or formulas (Ellis, 1996, 2008a; Granger & Meunier, in press; Pawley & Syder, 1983; Sinclair, 1991, 2004; Wray, 2002).”
• The acquisition of tense-aspect: Converging evidence from corpora and telicity ratings (2009, background): “Investigation of the ways in which language usage and language cognition result in learnable language structures is a much larger enterprise, and it is only at the beginning (Christiansen & Chater, 2008; Ellis, 2008a; Ellis & Larsen-Freeman, 2006, 2009).”
• THE BOUNDS OF ADULT LANGUAGE ACQUISITION (2010, background): “Additionally, because shorter words tend to be more homophonous, they are also more ambiguous in their interpretations (N. C. Ellis, 2008a ).”
• Constructing a second language: Analyses and computational simulations of the emergence of linguistic constructions from usage. (2009, background): “…constructionist perspectives (e.g., Bates & MacWhinney, 1987; Goldberg, 1995, 2003, 2006; Lakoff, 1987; Langacker, 1987; Ninio, 2006; Robinson & Ellis, 2008; Tomasello, 2003), corpus linguistics (Biber, Conrad, & Reppen, 1998; Sinclair, 1991, 2004), and psychological theories of cognitive and…”
• Language Is a Complex Adaptive System: Position Paper (2009, background): “Thus, a CAS perspective on the limited end state typical of adult L2 learners suggests that this results from dynamic cycles of language use, language change, language perception, and language learning in the interactions of members of language communities (Ellis, 2008a).”
