Isi artikel

The units postulated in linguistic analysis differ not only as to their structural properties, but also in their relative frequency of use in different contexts: the former should, ideally, shed light on the latter. Such a connection between linguistic analysis of the system and the use to which it is put requires an understanding of what constitutes 'appropriate' use of a form, and an appeal to psychologically plausible cognitive processes. The need to make psychological sense of linguistic frequency data is discussed on the basis of distributional skewings in the exploitation of stronger vs. weaker deictic devices in Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch, with special attention for the problem posed by competing strategies.
