Sentence-Level Constructions: A Demonstration in Support of Ambridge (2020)
First Language, v40 n5-6 p569-572 Oct-Dec 2020
Ambridge reviews and augments an impressive body of research demonstrating both the advantages and the necessity of an exemplar-based model of knowledge of one's language. He cites three computational models that have been applied successfully to issues of phonology and morphology. Focusing on Ambridge's discussion of sentence-level constructions, this commentary cites additional research in support of his exemplar hypothesis. It then provides an informal demonstration of how Skousen's (1989) Analogical Model might be extended to the processing of sentence-level constructions. [For Ben Ambridge's "Against Stored Abstractions: A Radical Exemplar Model of Language Acquisition," see EJ1269951.]
