Frequency Effects in Language Processing: A Review with Implications for Theories of Implicit and Explicit Language Acquisition.
TL;DR: For instance, the authors shows how language processing is intimately tuned to input frequency and the implications of these effects for the representations and developmental sequence of SLA, and concludes by considering the history of frequency as an explanatory concept in theoretical and applied linguistics, its 40 years of exile, and its necessary reinstatement as a bridging variable that binds the different schools of language acquisition research.
Journal ArticleDOI
From Usage to Grammar: The Mind's Response to Repetition
TL;DR: It is argued that high-frequency instances of constructions undergo grammaticization processes (which produce further change), function as the central members of categories formed by constructions, and retain their old forms longer than lower- frequencies instances under the pressure of newer formations.
