An operational definition of the emergence criterion (2007, background): “Hence the acquisition of a new structure may be characterized, on the one hand, as a path from ‘formula’ to ‘low scope pattern’ to ‘productive use’ (Ellis 2002), on the other, as a path from ‘invariant default forms’ to ‘non-functional allomorphic variation’ to ‘distributional restructuring,…”

Digging up the building blocks of language: Age-of-acquisition effects for multiword phrases (2017, background): “Our findings further support the claim that children are sensitive to input frequencies (see Christiansen & Chater, 2016a; Diessel, 2007; Lieven, 2010, for reviews), and provide novel evidence for the usage-based prediction that multiword units serve as building blocks for language learning…”
