String Frequency: A Cognitive Motivating Factor in Coalescence, Language Processing, and Linguistic Change

Krug, Manfred·1998·Journal of English Linguistics

Abstract

Dans une perspective descriptive, l'A. examine les caracteristiques d'un changement specifique a l'anglais actuel : l'encliticisation de 've (<have). Dans ce processus, il est possible d'identifier une motivation cognitive centrale (Facteur Frequence), qui explique la survenue de ce changement linguistique. L'hypothese du Facteur Frequence est testee pour d'autres clitiques : 's, 'm, 're (de is/has, am, are)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
