Individual differences in child English second language acquisition Comparing child-internal and child-external factors (2011, background): “…important to point out that token frequency in the input is just one element of the input properties that are predicted to impact acquisition rates (Lieven & Tomasello, 2008; Bybee 2001), and more fine-grained aspects of the input such as distributional collocation frequency and type frequency…”
Usage‐Based Language: Investigating the Latent Structures That Underpin Acquisition (2013, background): “…linguists (e.g., Boyd & Goldberg, 2009; Bybee, 2008, 2010; Ellis, 2008a; Goldberg, 2006; Goldberg, Casenhiser, & Sethuraman, 2004; Lieven & Tomasello, 2008; Ninio, 1999, 2006) suspect that it is the Zipfian coming together of linguistic form and function that makes language…”
