Abstract

Neurally inspired and gradient in nature, usage-based (UB) approaches to language acquistion in their different historical varieties—functionalism, connectionism, and emergentism as applied to language, the competition model, cognitive linguistics, and complexity theory as applied to language, among others—are well equipped to develop theory and conduct research on the role of input processing (IP) in language acquisition. This chaper focuses on what applications of UB perspectives have done and can do to advance our understanding of IP. The chapter reviews IP’s functional and connectionist roots, considers the extent to which research on IP is informed by UB perspectives, and highlights examples of areas in which research on IP and UB approaches are mutually informative. The chapter concludes by addressing instructional issues and potential future directions in this area of research.
