论文摘要

本文使用计算实验来探讨暴露在施工语法出现中的作用。虽然假设基于用法的语法取决于学习者对实际语言使用的接触,但这种暴露的机制仅在几个孤立的结构中进行了研究。本文实验(i)构造构成的增长率,(ii)暴露于独立寄存器的语法的收敛速率,以及(iii)在未观察到的构造速率时遗忘的速率。这些实验表明,词典的生长比语法更快,语法的生长速率不取决于词典的生长速率。同时,随着暴露量的增加,寄存器特异性的语法会融合到更相似的结构上。这意味着随着暴露的增加,特定寄存器的影响变得不那么重要。最后,当未观察到的构造的速率被遗忘了,这反映了建筑构成的生长速率。因此,本文介绍了基于用法的语法的计算模型,其中包括构造的出现和不介入。

This paper uses computational experiments to explore the role of exposure in the emergence of construction grammars. While usage-based grammars are hypothesized to depend on a learner's exposure to actual language use, the mechanisms of such exposure have only been studied in a few constructions in isolation. This paper experiments with (i) the growth rate of the constructicon, (ii) the convergence rate of grammars exposed to independent registers, and (iii) the rate at which constructions are forgotten when they have not been recently observed. These experiments show that the lexicon grows more quickly than the grammar and that the growth rate of the grammar is not dependent on the growth rate of the lexicon. At the same time, register-specific grammars converge onto more similar constructions as the amount of exposure increases. This means that the influence of specific registers becomes less important as exposure increases. Finally, the rate at which constructions are forgotten when they have not been recently observed mirrors the growth rate of the constructicon. This paper thus presents a computational model of usage-based grammar that includes both the emergence and the unentrenchment of constructions.
