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…
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 …
A multivariate account of particle alternation after bare-form try in native varieties of English
This multifactorial study reviews the determinants of particle alternation after uninflected try in varieties where English is native. The effects of a number of previously discussed and novel predictors are probed in data from well-known corpora. The results confirm the inclinations of North American varieties ( try to ) in contrast with those of the Australasian, British and Irish varieties ( try and in speech but try to in writing). The previo…
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…
'These hands, they are apt enough to dislocate and tear thy flesh'
As part of a major project on the syntactic organisation of written discourse in the recent history of the English language, this paper tackles the distribution of sentences comprising left-dislocated constituents in a corpus of texts from late Middle English onwards. Once the phenomenon of left dislocation has been properly defined, this investigation will concentrate on the analysis of the corpus in the following directions: (i) statistical evo…
