Primes¶
- Contextual Mode Switching
- rather than maintaining a single default behavior.
This sourceUsage-based theory in which grammar emerges from frequency of use and domain-general cognitive processes; supports the framing that agents organize communicative repertoires across contexts rather than maintaining a single default. SUPPORTS the usage-based grounding claim.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
Bybee's abstract sets out a usage-based theory in which grammar emerges from recurrent processes of use, backing the framing but not the clause about a single default behavior.
“It outlines a theory of language that addresses the nature of grammar, taking into account its variance and gradience, and seeks explanation in terms of the recurrent processes that operate in language use.”

Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
Bybee's own abstract frames the book as explaining grammar's structure and gradience through recurrent processes of language use, but it names neither frequency effects, analogy, nor reduction.
“It outlines a theory of language that addresses the nature of grammar, taking into account its variance and gradience, and seeks explanation in terms of the recurrent processes that operate in language use.”

Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
Bybee 2010 is a book-length theory of language grounded in recurrent processes of language use and corpus evidence, so it can stand behind a blanket usage-based citation, though the abstract never uses the label.
“It outlines a theory of language that addresses the nature of grammar, taking into account its variance and gradience, and seeks explanation in terms of the recurrent processes that operate in language use.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 4 of 7 citations: 4 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
