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 (markers 135).

• Emergent Formalization (Language)
  • The mechanism is distinctly linguistic: frequency-driven token consolidation → phonetic reduction → loss of compositional transparency → reanalysis as a morphosyntactic unit (Bybee & Perkins 1994; Heine & Kuteva 2002).
• Linguistic Universals
  • Usage-based and functional linguistics: Bybee 2010 Language Usage and Cognition argues universals emerge from frequency effects, analogy, and semantic/phonological reduction in everyday language use.

Domain-specific

• Functional Linguistics
  • North American functional and usage-based traditions often emphasize corpora, discourse frequency, emergent patterns, grammaticalization, and typological comparison
