Blevins, and Juliette Blevins (eds), Analogy in Grammar: Form and Acquisition (Oxford , 2009; online edn, Oxford Academic, 1 Sept. 2009), https://doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199547548.003.0008, accessed 24 Apr. 2025.
Abstract
In Analogical Modeling, language prediction is closely determined by the specific variables used. The kinds of structures that must be dealt with in a full theory of analogical prediction include strings of characters, scalar variables, syntactic trees, and semantic variables. These structures as well as a number of procedural issues are discussed in this chapter.
