Online resources: Summary: Phonology and Language Use presents a usage-based approach to phonology, emphasizing the role of frequency and experience in shaping phonological patterns. Challenging abstract, rule-based models, Bybee argues that phonological structures emerge from repeated use and cognitive processes such as categorization and memory. The book integrates data from phonetic variation, language change, and mental representation to show how language use drives phonological organization. Bybee’s work offers a dynamic, empirically grounded perspective that connects phonology with broader linguistic and cognitive mechanisms, reshaping our understanding of sound systems. http://172.20.27.22:4000/handle/123456789/47
