Today’s innovations, tomorrow’s conventions
In cognitive approaches to language, linguistic structures are seen as inherently dynamic; they are constantly emergent from usage events and become entrenched and conventionalized through repetition (in slightly varying flavors, see amongst others Auer & Pfänder 2011; Bybee 2006; Diessel 2019; Hopper 1998; Schmid 2020). There is no principled distinction between synchronic states of a language and diachronic change from one state to another (see…
Potential grammaticalization of epistemic phrases
This paper deals with the potential grammaticalization of English (it) could be and (it) might be into epistemic sentence adverbs in analogy to maybe . They can occur in adverb-like positions and functions in informal language use, e.g. (it) could be something good has begun , often with the pronoun it omitted. But, given that no diachronic development is attested, to what extent does their usage indicate innovation or an emerging convention of a…
Learning to predict
The cognitive entrenchment of frequent sequences comes as ‘chunking’ (holistic storage) and as ‘procedure strengthening’ (predicting elements in a sequence). A growing body of research shows effects of entrenchment of multi-word sequences in the native language, which is learned and shaped continuously and intuitively. But how do they affect second language (L2) speakers, whose language acquisition is more analytic but who nonetheless also learn …

Could Be it’s Grammaticalization
Starting from the assumption that grammaticalization is rooted in situated language use, the present study tests the connection between functional reanalysis and formal reduction with a synchronic approach. It investigates a case of potential (but not actuated) grammaticalization in Present-Day English, the use of epistemic phrases of the type it could/ might be ( that), which can serve an adverbial function and undergo formal reduction in analog…
Communicative efficiency and the Principle of No Synonymy
There is ample psycholinguistic evidence that speakers behave efficiently, using shorter and less effortful constructions when the meaning is more predictable, and longer and more effortful ones when it is less predictable. However, the Principle of No Synonymy requires that all formally distinct variants should also be functionally different. The question is how much two related constructions should overlap semantically and pragmatically in orde…
Variables are valuable
Following the quantitative turn in linguistics, the field appears to be in a methodological “wild west” state where much is possible and new frontiers are being explored, but there is relatively little guidance in terms of firm rules or conventions. In this article, we focus on the issue of variable selection in regression modeling. It is common to aim for a “minimal adequate model” and eliminate “non-significant” variables by statistical procedu…
Chunking or predicting – frequency information and reduction in the perception of multi-word sequences
Frequently used linguistic structures become entrenched in memory; this is often assumed to make their consecutive parts more predictable, as well as fuse them into a single unit (chunking). High frequency moreover leads to a propensity for phonetic reduction. We present a word recognition experiment which tests how frequency information (string frequency, transitional probability) interacts with reduction in speech perception. Detection of the e…
