Abstract:

Editor's Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced title.

Cognitive linguists and psychologists have often argued that language is best
understood as an association network; however while the network view of
language has had a significant impact on the study of morphology and lexical
semantics, it is only recently that researchers have taken an explicit network
approach to the study of syntax. This innovative study presents a dynamic
network model of grammar in which all aspects of linguistic structure,
including core concepts of syntax (e.g. phrase structure, word classes,
grammatical relations), are analyzed in terms of associative connections
between different types of linguistic elements. These associations are shaped
by domain-general learning processes that are operative in language use and
sensitive to frequency of occurrence. Drawing on research from usage-based
linguistics and cognitive psychology, the book provides an overview of
frequency effects in grammar and analyzes these effects within the framework
of a dynamic network model.
