Word frequency effects in sound change as a consequence of perceptual asymmetries: an exemplar-based model
Empirically-observed word frequency effects in regular sound change present a puzzle: how can high-frequency words change faster than low-frequency words in some cases, slower in other cases, and at the same rate in yet other cases? We argue that this puzzle can be answered by giving substantial wei...
