Dr Peter Crosthwaite & Dr Lisa Cheung: Where Corpus Linguistics and GenAI meet.
Implications for language teaching:
🔁 Learners rely on what they see early and often.
📘 Early exposure to emotionally charged or simpler verbs boosts acquisition.
👩🏫 Carefully sequencing complex structures in the curriculum could better support long-term learning.
The study introduces input-exposure shaping factors like:
-#Accessibility (how early/easily a word is encountered)
-#Proficiency level
-Prototype formation (early-learned meanings tend to stick)
-These strongly influence what learners produce, modulating the effect of input frequency.
Main finding: Learners do show signs of statistical learning even in complex nonadjacent constructions.
Their usage patterns align with native speaker input in terms of #frequency and #contingency (the likelihood two elements occur together), especially as proficiency increases.
