Multifaceted Role of Multilevel Statistical and Linguistic Information From Target Language in Predicting Second Language Verb–Preposition and Verb–Particle Construction Production

open access: yesLanguage Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract This study explores how statistical properties of verb–preposition and verb–particle constructions (VPCs) and their interplay in the target language shape second language (L2) production across L2 proficiency levels. We compared phrasal frequency and three contingency measures—mutual information (MI), forward delta P (ΔP), and backward ΔP—of ...
