2023 Evidence of Zipfian distributions in three sign languages Gesture 22:2, pp. 154–188 | Article
One striking commonality between languages is their Zipfian distributions: A power-law distribution of word frequency. This distribution is found across languages, speech genres, and within different parts of speech. The recurrence of such distributions is thought to reflect cognitive and/or… read more
2016 The nature of CDS in Hebrew: Frequent frames in a morphologically rich language Acquisition and Development of Hebrew: From infancy to adolescence, Berman, Ruth A. (ed.), pp. 201–224 | Article
The chapter explores the distribution and content of frequent frames – recurring multiword sequences – appearing at the start of utterances in speech directed to young Hebrew-speaking children. Previous work has documented the existence and prevalence of such frames in several languages (English,… read more
2014 Time and again: The changing effect of word and multiword frequency on phonetic duration for highly frequent sequences Bridging the Methodological Divide: Linguistic and psycholinguistic approaches to formulaic language, Wulff, Stefanie and Debra Titone (eds.), pp. 377–400 | Article
There is growing evidence that multiword information affects processing. In this paper, we look at the effect of word and multiword frequency on the phonetic duration of words in spontaneous speech to (a) extend previous findings and (b) ask whether the relation between word and multiword… read more

2011 Units of learning in language acquisition Experience, Variation and Generalization: Learning a first language, Arnon, Inbal and Eve V. Clark (eds.), pp. 167–178 | Article
Textbook descriptions of how production develops in first language acquisition often move from babbling (producing syllables), through single-word utterances, to multi-word combinations. This progression emphasizes the small-to-big aspect of language learning where each stage involves larger, more… read more
2011 Chapter 4. Relative clause acquisition in Hebrew and the learning of constructions The Acquisition of Relative Clauses: Processing, typology and function, Kidd, Evan (ed.), pp. 81–106 | Article
In this chapter, I outline the developmental path of relative clauses in Hebrew while asking more general questions about how constructions are learned. I argue that Hebrew-speaking children show a gradual expansion of uses that is sensitive to the distributional patterns in their input. This… read more
