The acquisition of tense-aspect: Converging evidence from corpora and telicity ratings (2009, methodology): “Contingency and its associated aspects of predictive value, information gain, and statistical association have been at the core of learning theory ever since (for the case of language, see Ellis, 2008c; MacWhinney, 1987).”
Bilingual first-language development: Dominant language takeover, threatened minority language take-up* (2009, background): “The system is complex, opaque, and UNRELIABLE (MacWhinney, 1987a, b; McDonald, 1989) and, thus, entails protracted development across the school years and beyond.”
Becoming syntactic. (2006, background): “…transitive representations develop only gradually into abstract transitive representations and, more generally, that late-syntax approaches to language acquisition, which de-emphasize innate factors, are true (Bates & Goodman, 2001; Lieven et al., 2003, 1997; MacWhinney , 1987; Tomasello, 2003).”
Exposure and input in bilingual development (2017, background): “Certainly, a processing account of weaker language behaviours fits well with the idea that different representations compete as the child plans an utterance (MacWhinney, 1987; Costa, Miozza & Caramazza, 1999; Costa, Colomé, Gómez & Sebastián-Gallés, 2013; Döpke, 2000; inter alia).”
THE BOUNDS OF ADULT LANGUAGE ACQUISITION (2010, background): “Given that profi cient language learners use cues in combination and that multiple cues in interaction provide highly constrained solutions that cannot be attained from individual cues alone, how do other cues become integrated into the learner’s inference (MacWhinney, 1987 )?”
Word learning emerges from the interaction of online referent selection and slow associative learning (2012, methodology): “For example, MacWhinney (1987), Merriman (1999), and Regier (2005) incorporated something resembling competition in their probabilistic representations.”
Usage‐Based Language: Investigating the Latent Structures That Underpin Acquisition (2013, background): “They are central in psycholinguistic theories of language acquisition (Ellis, 2006a, 2006b, 2008b; Gries & Wulff, 2005; MacWhinney, 1987).”
On the bilingual competence of Spanish heritage speakers: Syntax, lexical-semantics and processing (2006, background): “According to MacWhinney (1987), L2 learners use processing routines from their native language in their L2.”
Constructing a second language: Analyses and computational simulations of the emergence of linguistic constructions from usage. (2009, background): “…have just enumerated, our theoretical framework is also informed by cognitive linguistics, particularly constructionist perspectives (e.g., Bates & MacWhinney, 1987; Goldberg, 1995, 2003, 2006; Lakoff, 1987; Langacker, 1987; Ninio, 2006; Robinson & Ellis, 2008; Tomasello, 2003), corpus…”
LEARNED ATTENTION IN ADULT LANGUAGE ACQUISITION (2011, background): “…containing multiple cue dimensions suggests that participants typically focus upon one cue at a time, exploring its utility and only introducing others later, one by one, as they reduce error of estimation (Cheng & Holyoak, 1995 ; MacWhinney, 1987 ; Matessa & Anderson, 2000 ; McDonald, 1986 ).”
A UNIFIED MODEL (2007, methodology): “The current chapter attempts to further systematize that account, relying on the Competition Model (Bates & MacWhinney, 1982; MacWhinney, 1987a) as its basic starting point.”
Cognitive Science in the era of Artificial Intelligence: A roadmap for reverse-engineering the infant language-learner (2016, unknown): “…conceptual frameworks have been proposed to account for key aspects of the developmental trajectories (the competition model: Bates & MacWhinney, 1987; MacWhinney, 1987 ; WRAPSA: Jusczyk, 1997; the emergentist coalition model: Hollich et al., 2000; PRIMIR: Werker & Curtin, 2005; the…”
Cognitive Perspectives on SLA: The Associative-Cognitive CREED (2006, background): “…second language (Christiansen & Chater 2001; Ellis 1998; Elman et al. 1996; Rumelhart & McClelland 1986), the Competition Model of language learning and processing (Bates & MacWhinney 1987; MacWhinney 1987a, 1997), and Corpus Linguistics (Biber, Conrad, & Reppen 1998; Sampson 2001; Sinclair 1991).”
The Dynamics of Second Language Emergence: Cycles of Language Use, Language Change, and Language Acquisition (2008, background): “…chaos-complexity theory (Cooper, 1999; Larsen-Freeman, 1997, 2002; Larsen-Freeman & Cameron, in press; Waldrop, 1992), and emergentism (Bates & MacWhinney, 1987; N. C. Ellis, 1998; N. C. Ellis & LarsenFreeman, 2006a; MacWhinney, 1999) are general frameworks for investigating processes of…”
