Grammar and Complexity

Language at the Intersection of Competence and Performance

Beschreibung

This book combines ideas about the architecture of grammar and language acquisition, processing, and change to explain why languages show regular patterns when there is so much irregularity in their use and complexity when there is such regularity in linguistic phenomena. It offers new insights into the way language is produced and understood.
