Corpus-based studies have become increasingly common in linguistic typology over recent years, amounting to the emergence of a new field that we call corpus-based typology. The core idea of corpus-based typology is to take languages as populations of utterances and to systematically investigate text production across languages in this sense. From a usage-based perspective, investigations of variation and preferences of use are at the core of understanding the distribution of conventionalized structures and their diachronic development across languages. Specific findings of corpus-based typological studies pertain to universals of text production, for example, in prosodic partitioning; to cognitive biases constraining diverse patterns of use, for example, in constituent order; and to correlations of diverse patterns of use with language-specific structures and conventions. We also consider remaining challenges for corpus-based typology, in particular the development of crosslinguistically more representative corpora that include spoken (or signed) texts, and its vast potential in the future.
近年来,基于语料库的研究在语言类型学中越来越普遍,形成了一个新的研究领域,我们称之为基于语料库的类型学。基于语料库的类型学的核心思想是把语言作为话语的群体,并在这个意义上系统地研究跨语言的文本生产。从基于使用的角度来看,研究使用的变化和偏好是理解约定俗成结构在不同语言中的分布及其历时发展的核心。基于语料库的类型学研究的具体发现与文本产生的普遍性有关,例如,在韵律划分中;认知偏差限制了不同的使用模式,例如,在组成顺序上;以及不同使用模式与特定语言结构和惯例之间的关系。我们还考虑了基于语料库的类型学仍然存在的挑战,特别是发展跨语言更具代表性的语料库,包括口语(或手语)文本,以及它在未来的巨大潜力。

Research on the prosody and intonation of creole languages has largely remained an untapped resource, yet it is important for enriching our understanding of how or if their phonological systems changed or developed under contact. Further, their hybrid histories and current linguistic ecologies present descriptive and analytical treasure troves. This has the potential to inform many areas of linguistic inquiry including contact effects on the typological classification of prosodic systems, socioprosodic variation (individual and community level), and the scope of diversity in prosodic systems among creole languages and across a variety of languages similarly influenced by language contact. Thus, this review highlights the importance of pushing beyond questions of creole language typology and genetic affiliation. I review the existing research on creole language prosody and intonation, provide some details on a few studies, and highlight some key challenges and opportunities for the subfield and for linguistics in general.
对克里奥尔语的韵律和语调的研究在很大程度上仍然是一个未开发的资源,但它对于丰富我们对他们的语音系统如何或是否在接触下改变或发展的理解是重要的。此外,他们的混合历史和当前的语言生态是描述和分析的宝库。这有可能为语言学研究的许多领域提供信息,包括接触对韵律系统类型分类的影响,社会韵律变化(个人和社区水平),以及克里奥尔语之间韵律系统的多样性范围,以及受语言接触影响的各种语言。因此,这篇综述强调了超越克里奥尔语言类型学和遗传关系问题的重要性。我回顾了克里奥尔语韵律和语调的现有研究,提供了一些研究的细节,并强调了该子领域和一般语言学的一些关键挑战和机遇。

Second language (L2) sentence processing research studies how adult L2 learners understand sentences in real time. I review how L2 sentence processing differs from monolingual first-language (L1) processing and outline major findings and approaches. Three interacting factors appear to mandate L1–L2 differences: ( a) capacity restrictions in the ability to integrate information in an L2; ( b) L1–L2 differences in the weighting of cues, the timing of their application, and the efficiency of their retrieval; and ( c) variation in the utility functions of predictive processing. Against this backdrop, I outline a novel paradigm of interlanguage processing, which examines bilingual features of L2 processing, such as bilingual language systems, nonselective access to all grammars, and processing to learn an L2. Interlanguage processing goes beyond the traditional framing of L2 sentence processing as an incomplete form of monolingual processing and reconnects the field with current approaches to grammar acquisition and the bilingual mental lexicon.
第二语言(L2)句子加工研究研究成人L2学习者如何实时理解句子。我回顾了第二语言句子处理与单语第一语言(L1)处理的不同之处,并概述了主要的发现和方法。三个相互作用的因素似乎导致了L1-L2的差异:(a)在第二语言中整合信息能力的能力限制;(b)线索权重、线索使用时间和线索检索效率的L1-L2差异;(c)预测处理效用函数的变化。在此背景下,我概述了一种新的中介语处理范式,该范式研究了二语处理的双语特征,如双语语言系统、对所有语法的非选择性访问以及学习二语的处理。中介语加工超越了将二语句子加工视为单语加工的不完整形式的传统框架,并将该领域与当前的语法习得方法和双语心理词汇重新联系起来。

The primary goal of coherence theory is to provide an explanation for the coherence properties of discourse: what properties distinguish a discourse from a mere collection of utterances, and what drives comprehenders to draw inferences in service of establishing coherence. However, the importance of coherence theory goes well beyond that; it also plays a crucial role in theories of a variety of discourse-dependent linguistic phenomena. This article surveys some ways in which coherence theory has been leveraged in this way, appealing to both Relational analyses and Question-Under-Discussion models. Theories of coherence establishment should therefore have a place in the linguist's toolbox as a source of explanation in linguistic theory.
连贯理论的主要目标是为语篇的连贯特性提供解释:是什么特性将语篇与话语的简单集合区分开来,是什么驱使理解者为建立连贯而进行推理。然而,相干理论的重要性远不止于此;它在各种话语依赖语言现象的理论中也起着至关重要的作用。本文调查了相干理论以这种方式被利用的一些方法,吸引了关系分析和讨论下的问题模型。因此,连贯建立理论应该在语言学家的工具箱中占有一席之地,作为语言理论的解释来源。

In this review, I assess a variety of constraint-based formal frameworks that can treat variable phenomena, such as well-formedness intuitions, outputs in free variation, and lexical frequency-matching. The idea behind this assessment is that data in gradient linguistics fall into natural mathematical patterns, which I call quantitative signatures. The key signatures treated here are the sigmoid curve, going from zero to one probability, and the wug-shaped curve, which combines two or more sigmoids. I argue that these signatures appear repeatedly in linguistics, and I adduce examples from phonology, syntax, semantics, sociolinguistics, phonetics, and language change. I suggest that the ability to generate these signatures is a trait that can help us choose between rival frameworks.
在这篇综述中,我评估了各种基于约束的形式框架,这些框架可以处理变量现象,如格式良好的直觉、自由变化的输出和词汇频率匹配。这种评估背后的想法是,梯度语言学中的数据落入自然的数学模式,我称之为定量签名。这里处理的关键特征是概率从0到1的s形曲线,以及组合了两个或多个s形曲线的wug形曲线。我认为这些特征在语言学中反复出现,我从音韵学、句法、语义学、社会语言学、语音学和语言变化中引用了例子。我认为生成这些签名的能力是一种可以帮助我们在竞争框架之间进行选择的特性。

Cochlear implants (CIs) represent a significant engineering and medical milestone in the treatment of hearing loss for both adults and children. In this review, we provide a brief overview of CI technology, describe the benefits that CIs can provide to adults and children who receive them, and discuss the specific limitations and issues faced by CI users. We emphasize the relevance of CIs to the linguistics community by demonstrating how CIs successfully provide access to spoken language. Furthermore, CI research can inform our basic understanding of spoken word recognition in adults and spoken language development in children. Linguistics research can also help us address the major clinical issue of outcome variability and motivate the development of new clinical tools to assess the unique challenges of adults and children with CIs, as well as novel interventions for individuals with poor outcomes.
人工耳蜗(CIs)是成人和儿童听力损失治疗中一个重要的工程和医学里程碑。在这篇综述中,我们简要概述了CI技术,描述了CI可以为接受CI的成人和儿童提供的好处,并讨论了CI用户面临的具体限制和问题。我们通过展示CIs如何成功地提供口头语言的访问来强调CIs与语言学社区的相关性。此外,CI研究可以让我们对成人的口语识别和儿童的口语发展有基本的了解。语言学研究还可以帮助我们解决结果可变性的主要临床问题,并激发新的临床工具的发展,以评估成人和儿童ci的独特挑战,以及对结果不佳的个体的新干预措施。

This review presents a highly selective survey of connections between music and language. I begin by considering some fundamental differences between music and language and some nonspecific similarities that may arise out of more general characteristics of human cognition and communication. I then discuss an important, specific interaction between music and language: the connection between linguistic stress and musical meter. Next, I consider several possible connections that have been widely studied but remain controversial: cross-cultural correlations between linguistic and musical rhythm, effects of musical training on linguistic abilities, and connections in cognitive processing between music and linguistic syntax. Finally, I discuss some parallels regarding the use of repetition in music and language, which until now has been a little-explored topic.
这篇综述对音乐和语言之间的联系进行了高度选择性的调查。我首先考虑了音乐和语言之间的一些基本差异,以及一些非特定的相似性,这些相似性可能源于人类认知和交流的更普遍特征。然后,我讨论了音乐和语言之间一个重要的、具体的相互作用:语言重音和音律之间的联系。接下来,我考虑了几个已经被广泛研究但仍有争议的可能联系:语言和音乐节奏之间的跨文化相关性,音乐训练对语言能力的影响,以及音乐和语言句法之间认知加工的联系。最后,我讨论了音乐和语言中重复使用的一些相似之处,这是一个迄今为止很少被探索的话题。

Children's linguistic knowledge and the learning mechanisms by which they acquire it grow substantially in infancy and toddlerhood, yet theories of word learning largely fail to incorporate these shifts. Moreover, researchers' often-siloed focus on either familiar word recognition or novel word learning limits the critical consideration of how these two relate. As a step toward a mechanistic theory of language acquisition, we present a framework of "learning through processing" and relate it to the prevailing methods used to assess children's early knowledge of words. Incorporating recent empirical work, we posit a specific, testable timeline of qualitative changes in the learning process in this interval. We conclude with several challenges and avenues for building a comprehensive theory of early word learning: better characterization of the input, reconciling results across approaches, and treating lexical knowledge in the nascent grammar with sufficient sophistication to ensure generalizability across languages and development.

儿童的语言知识及其学习机制在婴幼儿时期有了长足的发展,然而单词学习理论在很大程度上却没有将这些变化纳入其中。此外,研究人员往往只关注熟悉单词的识别或新单词的学习,这限制了对这两者之间关系的批判性思考。作为向语言习得机制理论迈出的一步,我们提出了一个 "加工学习 "框架,并将其与评估儿童早期词汇知识的常用方法联系起来。结合最近的实证研究,我们为这一时期学习过程中的质变提出了一个具体的、可检验的时间表。最后,我们提出了建立早期词汇学习综合理论的几项挑战和途径:更好地描述输入、协调各种方法的结果、以足够的复杂性处理新生语法中的词汇知识,以确保跨语言和跨发展的通用性。

Structural, Functional, and Processing Perspectives on Linguistic Island Effects 语言孤岛效应的结构、功能和加工视角

Ross (1967) observed that “island” structures like “Who do you think [NP the gift from __] prompted the rumor?” or “Who did you hear [NP the statement [S that the CEO promoted __]]?” are not acceptable, despite having what seem to be plausible meanings in some contexts. Ross (1967) and Chomsky (1973) hypothesized that the source of the unacceptability is in the syntax. Here, we summarize how theories of discourse, frequency, and memory from the literature might account for such effects. We suggest that there is only one island structure—a class of coordination islands—that is best explained by a syntactic/semantic constraint. We speculate that all other island structures are likely to be explained in terms of discourse, frequency, and memory. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Linguistics, Volume 8 is January 2022. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.
罗斯(1967)观察到“岛”结构,如“你认为是谁[来自__的礼物]引发了谣言?”或者“你听到谁说CEO提升了……?”是不可接受的,尽管它们在某些语境中似乎有合理的含义。罗斯(1967)和乔姆斯基(1973)假设,不可接受性的根源在于句法。在这里,我们总结了文献中的话语、频率和记忆理论如何解释这种影响。我们认为只有一种孤岛结构——一类协调孤岛——可以用句法/语义约束来最好地解释。我们推测,所有其他岛屿结构都可能用话语、频率和记忆来解释。预计最终在线出版日期为语言学年度评论,卷8是2022年1月。修订后的估计数请参阅http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates。

Adult processing of other-accented speech is fast, dependent on lexical access, and readily generalizable to new words. But what does children's processing of other-accented speech look like? Although many acquisition researchers have emphasized how other-accented speech presents a formidable challenge to young children, we argue that the field has perhaps underestimated children's early accent processing abilities. In support of this view, we present evidence that 2-year-olds’ accent processing abilities appear to be in many respects adult-like, and discuss the growing literature on children's ability to cope with multi-accent input in the natural world. We outline different theoretical outlooks on the transition children make from infancy to later childhood, and discuss how the growing sophistication of infants’ accent processing abilities feeds into their social perception of the world (and perhaps vice versa). We also argue that efficient processing and meaningful interpretation of accent variation are fundamental to human cognition, and that early proficiency with accent variation (along with all of the implied representational and learning capacities) is difficult to explain without assuming the early emergence of abstract speech representations. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Linguistics, Volume 8 is January 2022. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.
成人对其他口音语音的处理速度很快,依赖于词汇获取,并且很容易归纳为新词。但是孩子们对其他口音语音的处理是怎样的呢?尽管许多习得研究人员都强调,其他口音的语言对幼儿来说是一个巨大的挑战,但我们认为,这个领域可能低估了儿童早期的口音处理能力。为了支持这一观点,我们提供的证据表明,两岁儿童的口音处理能力在许多方面似乎与成年人相似,并讨论了越来越多的关于儿童在自然世界中应对多口音输入的能力的文献。我们概述了关于儿童从婴儿期到童年后期过渡的不同理论观点,并讨论了婴儿口音处理能力的日益成熟如何影响他们对世界的社会感知(或许反之亦然)。我们还认为,口音变化的有效处理和有意义的解释是人类认知的基础,如果不假设早期出现抽象语音表征,那么早期熟练掌握口音变化(以及所有隐含的表征和学习能力)是很难解释的。预计最终在线出版日期为语言学年度评论,卷8是2022年1月。修订后的估计数请参阅http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates。
