DOI: 10.1093/applin/amaa030
Abstract: This study investigates the formal verbalizations of evaluation used by four beginning L2 learners of Finnish from a dynamic usage-based perspective. Longitudinal data collected weekly were used to investigate what kind of constructions learners use… read more here.

Location Privacy in Usage-Based Automotive Insurance: Attacks and Countermeasures
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security"
DOI: 10.1109/tifs.2018.2848227
Abstract: Usage-based insurance (UBI) is regarded as a promising way to provide accurate automotive insurance rates by analyzing the driving behaviors (e.g., speed, mileage, and harsh braking/accelerating) of drivers. The best practice that has been adopted… read more here.

Cognition, Corpora, and Computing: Triangulating Research in Usage-Based Language Learning.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Language Learning"
DOI: 10.1111/lang.12215
Abstract: Usage-based approaches explore how we learn language from our experience of language. Related research thus involves the analysis of the usage from which learners learn and of learner usage as it develops. This program involves… read more here.

Thinking About Multiword Constructions: Usage-Based Approaches to Acquisition and Processing
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Topics in cognitive science"
DOI: 10.1111/tops.12256
Abstract: Usage-based approaches to language hold that we learn multiword expressions as patterns of language from language usage, and that knowledge of these patterns underlies fluent language processing. This paper explores these claims by focusing upon… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/01427237221105184
Abstract: This study examined Japanese-speaking mothers’ passives in the child-directed speech from the CHILDES database. We selected five parent–child corpora and analyzed the overall distribution of the mothers’ passives and further investigated the contribution of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/0265532217712554
Abstract: Over the past 45 years, the construct of syntactic sophistication has been assessed in L2 writing using what Bulté and Housen (2012) refer to as absolute complexity (Lu, 2011; Ortega, 2003; Wolfe-Quintero, Inagaki, & Kim,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/13621688211040298
Abstract: We investigated the effectiveness of two different teaching methods based on two different theoretical views of how languages are learned in oral proficiency after three years of L2 French instruction. The first method is commonly… read more here.

Can Recurrent Neural Networks Validate Usage-Based Theories of Grammar Acquisition?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Frontiers in Psychology"
DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2022.741321
Abstract: It has been shown that Recurrent Artificial Neural Networks automatically acquire some grammatical knowledge in the course of performing linguistic prediction tasks. The extent to which such networks can actually learn grammar is still an… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2022.808493
Abstract: Verb agreement in signed languages has received substantial attention for a long time. Despite the numerous analyses about the linguistic status of verb agreement, there is little discussion about the argument structure associated with “directional… read more here.
