A Construction Based Analysis of Child Directed Speech. (2003, background): “For ‘usage-based’ cognitive linguists (e.g., Bybee, 1995; Croft, 2001; Langacker, 1987) a particular utterance will be multiply represented at levels in the speaker’s system ranging from the lexical specificity of the actual utterance (for instance I dunno, Bybee & Scheibmann, 1999) through to its”
Redundancy and reduction: Speakers manage syntactic information density (2010, background): “Such ‘training’ effects may be intuitive for phonetic reduction (the case discussed in Bybee & Hopper, 2001), but it is less clear how an automatization account would extend to syntactic reduction and, specifically, the complete omission of words.”
Language Acquisition as Rational Contingency Learning (2006, neutral): “They are unreliable predictors of outcome, with contingency statistics such as ÁP falling far short of 1.0 (Bates and MacWhinney 1987; MacWhinney 1987, 2001a).”
Syntactic probabilities affect pronunciation variation in spontaneous speech (2009, background): “Recent years, however, have seen the emergence of more and more models that conceive of structure as gradient, malleable, and probabilistic (see for example the papers in Barlow and Kemmer (2000); Bod et al. (2003); Bybee and Hopper (2001); and Gahl and Yu (2006)).”
Usage‐Based Language: Investigating the Latent Structures That Underpin Acquisition (2013, background): “Casenhiser and Goldberg (2005) and Goldberg et al.”
How much collocation knowledge do L2 learners have?: the effects of frequency and amount of exposure (2015, background): “Psycholinguistic research has demonstrated that both native and nonnative speakers are sensitive to the frequency of a wide range of linguistic forms, from phonemes to formulaic language (Bybee and Hopper, 2001; Ellis, 2002).”
