This book demonstrates that our theories of language must reflect the fact that language has evolved. It critiques a currently dominant framework in the field of linguistics - the Mini...
Models correspond to different theories about which subset of space the data is drawn from; three are shown in A–C. These models fit the data increasingly precisely, but they attain this precision at the cost of additional complexity. Intuitively, the model in B appears to offer the optimal...

(Chomsky,1981). As will become clear, generative and usage-based linguistic theories have different ideas about what constitutes the representation of language, and syntax in particular, in the mind. The theories also depart in their perspective on whether acquisition of language is guided partly ...
