Construction as reduction
(1996) In Working Papers, Lund University, Dept. of Linguistics 45.- Abstract
- The language acquisition process is suggested to be a process of selection and cumulative reduction from the language of more experienced (i.e. older) individuals. The population structure ensures that the approximation of the language learner results in a common language that is stable under normal conditions. Language is described as a ‘stasis’ between constructive and eliminative reduction.
