Abstract
In usage-based or constructivist approaches to language acquisition, the distribution and frequency of structures in the input are key mechanisms underlying acquisition patterns and rates (Tomasello, 2003). Children who learn

The interaction of phonological properties of lexical patterns with frequency and the interaction of type and token frequency are shown to influence degree of productivity in three models of morphological storage and processing.

The traditional account in which memory operates before rules cannot be replaced by a connectionist alternative in which a single network displays rotelike or rulelike behavior in response to changes in input statistics, and a simple explanation is proposed.

Within-language vocabulary-grammar associations were stronger than cross-language relationships, even after controlling for age, proportion of language exposure, general language skill and reporter bias, and similar patterns were found based on naturalistic language samples, consistent with the view that grammar learning is specifically tied to lexical progress in a given language.

Bilingual-monolingual similarities point to the possibility that SLI may not be an impediment to learning two languages, at least in the domain of grammatical morphology.

The results are consistent with the hypothesis that children learn past tense morphemes by analogy with other words in their vocabularies and propose a developmental sequence based on conservative generalization across a growing set of verbs.

The results of a study on present/past tense production and comprehension, carried out with children with and without Specific Language Impairment confirm the predictions of the computational complexity hypothesis.
