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