What makes pronunciation teaching work? Testing for the effect of two variables: socially constructed metalanguage and critical listening (2011, background): “Thus, pronunciation is an integral part of the meaning-making process (Bybee, 2001).”
The role of lexical frequency in syntactic variability: Variable subject personal pronoun expression in Spanish (2012, background): “Prominent among these are ‘usage-based’ and ‘exemplar-theoretic’ models (Bybee 2001, Pierrehumbert 2001, Bybee & Torres Cacoullos 2008), which postulate that speakers store extensive, detailed memories of the utterances and words they encounter in language use, and utilize these memory sets to…”
Different speakers, different grammars: Individual differences in native language attainment (2012, methodology): “‟ According to usage-based models, productivity is largely a function of type frequency (Bybee 1995, 2001; Dąbrowska and Szczerbiński 2006; Tomasello 2003), and therefore differences in the number of nouns that speakers experienced with each ending should translate into differences in productivity.”
A theoretical synopsis of Evolutionary Phonology (2006, neutral): “1998, 2004; Bybee 1998, 2001; de Boer 1999, 2001; Harrison et al. 2002; Kochetov 2002; Pierrehumbert 2003; Mielke 2004; Ritt 2004; Wedel 2004a; Boersma 2005; Oudeyer 2005).”
Variability in American English s-retraction suggests a solution to the actuation problem (2011, background): “A recent work that addresses these questions more directly is Blevins (2004, especially 41–44), who cites Watson (1999), Bybee (2001), and Pierrehumbert (2001) on the potential role of frequency in determining when sound changes do or do not occur.”
Homophony and morphology: The acoustics of word-final S in English 1 (2015, background): “Frequency also affects phonetic duration, with the general tendency of more frequent words exhibiting more reduction, i.e. shorter segment durations (e.g. Bybee 2001: 78; Jurafsky et al. 2001).”
Frequency effects in language acquisition, language use, and diachronic change (2007, background): “Across languages, frequently used expressions tend to be short because they have been phonetically reduced (cf. Zipf 1935; Ho0per 1976; Bybee 2001).”
Heritage language education : a new field emerging (2008, background): “While the correlation between phonetic weight (word length) and frequency is well established (Zipf, 1935; Bybee, 2001 ), even the small sample of verbs in Table 5 does not uphold this generalization; compare sidet’ vs. sest’ ‘sit’ where the longer word wins out, or the fairly equal in length pryga”
Language Is a Complex Adaptive System: Position Paper (2009, background): “The latter include speed of access related to token frequency and resistance to regularization of high-frequency forms (Bybee, 1995, 2001, 2007); it also includes the role of probability in syntactic and lexical processing (Ellis, 2002; Jurafsky, 2003; MacDonald & Christiansen, 2002) and the strong…”
