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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents   Preface by the Series Editor   Preface by the Authors   About the Authors   Note on Supplementary Material      1 Usage-Based Linguistics      2 Memory and Attention      3 Construal      4 Learning      5 Allomorphy      6 How to Teach Machines to Learn      7 Inflectional Paradigms and Classes      8 The Unbearable Lightness of English Articles      9 Modelling Aspect: Do We Really Have a Choice?      10 Is the Past Perfect and the Present Continuous: Questioning the Cognitive Reality of Tense Label   References   About the Series Editor   Websites for Cognitive Linguistics and CIFCL Speakers","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210837680471,"sku":"9789004506503","price":115.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/ten-lectures-on-language-as-cognition-a-multi-method-approach-9789004506503","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
