Predictability and variation in language are differentially affected by learning and production

2023-08-11

Abstract excerpt

<p>General principles of human cognition can help to explain why languages are more likely to have certain characteristics than others: structures that are difficult to process or produce will tend to be lost over time. One aspect of cognition that is implicated in language use is working memory -- the component of short-term memory used for temporary storage and manipulation of information. In this study, we cons...
