Consistency and Creativity in First Language Acquisition
In this paper I argue that a general PRINCIPLE OF CONSISTENCY both motivatesand constrains the process of analogical learning in a usage-based grammar. The basic idea is that children learning a language, and speakers in general, represent linguistic units in ways that maximize their motivation and emphasize their commonalities. Two units are consistent with each other to the degree that they match in their formal and semantic specifications. LOC…

Minimizers, Maximizers and the Rhetoric of Scalar Reasoning
This paper addresses two basic questions about polarity items: what sorts of meaning can such forms encode and why should such forms exist in the first place. My starting point is the Scalar Model of Polarity A variety of anomalous polarity items are discussed which flout this prediction, including both emphatic NPIs denoting maximal degrees (e.g. for all the tea in China, wild horses) and emphatic PPIs denoting minimal degrees (e.g. for a pittan…
From states to events
In this paper we examine the development of passive participles in the spontaneous speech of seven English speaking children. We argue that the grammatical properties which distinguish passive participles as a category emerge gradually and are learned as motivated properties of a complex, polysemous construction. The data reveals a regular progression from early adjectival uses to true verbal passives, in which the participle itself denotes a dyn…
