The book addresses a controversial current topic in language
acquisition studies: the impact of frequency on linguistic
structure in child language. A major strength of the book is that
the role of input frequency in the acquisition process is evaluated
in a large variety of languages, topics and the two major
theoretical frameworks: UG-based and usage-based accounts. While
most papers report a clear frequency effect, different factors that
may be interacting with pure statistical effects are critically
assessed. An introductory statement is made by Thomas Roeper who
calls for caution as he identifies frequency as a non-coherent
concept and argues for a precise definition of what can and cannot
be explained by statistical effects.
