Abstract:

Nick C. Ellis, Ute Römer, and Matthew Brook O'Donnell present a view of
language as a complex adaptive system that is learned through usage. In a
series of research studies, they analyze Verb-Argument Constructions (VACs) in
first and second language learning, processing, and use. Drawing on diverse
epistemological and methodological perspectives, they show how language
emerges out of multiple experiences of meaning-making. In the development of
both mother tongue and additional languages, each usage experience affects
construction knowledge following general principles of learning relating to
frequency, contingency, and semantic prototypicality. The implications of this
work will be of value to students and scholars from a wide range of
disciplinary interests in language and learning.
