Her articles argue for the importance of frequency of use as a factor in the analysis and explanation of language structure. This work is useful for researchers in linguistics, particularly in discourse analysis, corpus linguistics, phonology, phonetics and historical linguistics.Frequency (Linguistics)Linguistic changeFrequency (Linguistics)Linguistic change.410.1/51Bybee Joan L282096MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910810184203321Frequency of use and the organization of language1023424UNINA
