Inhaltszusammenfassung:

Natural language use is full of choices among multiple possible alternatives, whether phones, words, or constructions, which are influenced by a large number of contextual factors, and which rather exhibit asymptotic, imperfect tendencies favoring one or more of the alternatives, instead of single, categorical, perfect choices. This contrasts with item-by-item learning in simple controlled experiments which typically have been modelled by the Rescorla-Wagner equations. We find the former "messy" types of problems as a key area of interest in modeling and understanding language use, and consequently consider the application of the Rescorla-Wagner equations in the form of a Naive Discriminative Learning classifier to such complex phenomena of considerable utility in linguistic research. This is an updated version. (Previous version: http://dx.doi.org/10.15496/publikation-8620)
