A major strength of the book is that the role of input frequency in the acquisition process is evaluated in a large variety of languages, topics and the two major theoretical frameworks: UG-based and usage-based accounts. While most papers report a clear frequency effect, different factors that may be interacting with pure statistical effects are critically assessed. An introductory statement is made by Thomas Roeper who calls for caution as he idStudies on Language Acquisition [SOLA]Language acquisitionFrequency (Linguistics)Language acqusition, Theories of Language Acquisition.Language acquisition.Frequency (Linguistics)401/.93ER 925rvkGülzow Insa1967-1695775Gagarina Natalia1695776MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814781403321Frequency effects in language acquisition4075253UNINA
