Abstract:

Analogical Modeling (AM) is an exemplar-based general theory of
description that uses both neighbors and non-neighbors (under certain
well-defined conditions of homogeneity) to predict language
behavior. This book provides a basic introduction to AM, compares the
theory with nearest-neighbor approaches, and discusses the most recent
advances in the theory, including psycholinguistic evidence,
applications to specific languages, the problem of categorization, and
how AM relates to alternative approaches of language description (such
as instance families, neural nets, connectionism, and optimality
theory). The book closes with a thorough examination of the problem of
the exponential explosion, an inherent difficulty in AM (and in fact
all theories of language description). Quantum computing (based on
quantum mechanics with its inherent simultaneity and reversibility)
provides a precise and natural solution to the exponential explosion
in AM. Finally, an extensive appendix provides three tutorials for
running the AM computer program (available online).
