Abstract:

Merging insights from cognitive linguistic theories of language and
learning theories originating within psychology, Divjak and Milin
present a new paradigm that has computational modelling at its core.
They showcase the power of this interdisciplinary approach for
linguistic theory, methodology and description. Through a series of
detailed case studies that model usage of the English article system,
the Polish aspectual system, English tense/aspect contrasts and the
Serbian case system they show how computational models anchored in
learning can provide a simple and comprehensive account of how
intricate phenomena that have long defied a unified treatment could be
learned from exposure to usage alone. As such, their models form the
basis for a first rigorous test of a core assumption of usage-based
linguistics: that of the emergence of structure from use.
