Frequency Effects in Language Acquisition: Defining the Limits of Frequency as an Explanatory Concept Studies on Language Acquisition [Sola] In this thought-provoking book, author Sola delves into the complex relationship between frequency and language acquisition, challenging the widely-held assumption that frequency plays a crucial role in shaping linguistic structure. Through a series of rigorous studies and expert analyses, Sola examines the impact of frequency on various aspects of language acquisition, including phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics. The book offers a comprehensive overview of the current state of research in this area, addressing the strengths and limitations of both UG-based and usage-based accounts of language acquisition. One of the book's major strengths is its thorough evaluation of the role of input frequency in the acquisition process across a diverse range of languages, providing a nuanced understanding of how frequency influences linguistic development. However, Sola also critically assesses the factors that may interact with pure statistical effects, highlighting the need for caution when relying solely on frequency as an explanatory concept.

Frequency Effects in Language Acisition: Explanatory Concept Studies on Language Acquisitionとしての周波数の限界を定義する[Sola]ソラの著者は、周波数と言語の獲得との複雑な関係について考察し、周波数が重要な役割を果たすという共通の仮定に挑戦している言語構造を形作ること。ソラは一連の厳密な研究と専門家の分析を通じて、音声学、形態学、構文、意味論など、言語獲得のさまざまな側面における周波数の影響を探求します。本書では、この分野における研究の現状を総合的に概観し、UGベースと使用ベースの両方の言語取得アカウントの長所と短所に対処しています。本書の主な強みの一つは、様々な言語のデータを収集する過程における入力周波数の役割を慎重に評価することで、周波数が言語開発にどのように影響するかを微妙に理解することです。しかし、Solaは純粋な統計的効果と相互作用する可能性のある要因にも重要であり、説明的な概念としてのみ頻度を使用する場合には注意が必要であることを強調している。
