Exposure and Emergence in Usage-Based Grammar: Computational Experiments in 35 Languages
Jonathan Dunn
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 lear…
Register Variation Remains Stable Across 60 Languages
Haipeng Li, Jonathan Dunn, Andrea Nini
This paper measures the stability of cross-linguistic register variation. A register is a variety of a language that is associated with extra-linguistic context. The relationship b…
Stability of Syntactic Dialect Classification Over Space and Time
Jonathan Dunn, Sidney Wong
This paper analyses the degree to which dialect classifiers based on syntactic representations remain stable over space and time. While previous work has shown that the combination…
Learned Construction Grammars Converge Across Registers Given Increased Exposure
Jonathan Dunn, Harish Tayyar Madabushi
This paper measures the impact of increased exposure on whether learned construction grammars converge onto shared representations when trained on data from different registers. Re…
Production vs Perception: The Role of Individuality in Usage-Based Grammar Induction
Jonathan Dunn, Andrea Nini
This paper asks whether a distinction between production-based and perception-based grammar induction influences either (i) the growth curve of grammars and lexicons or (ii) the si…
Global Syntactic Variation in Seven Languages: Towards a Computational Dialectology
Jonathan Dunn
The goal of this paper is to provide a complete representation of regional linguistic variation on a global scale. To this end, the paper focuses on removing three constraints that…
