Communicative efficiency in language production: Optional case-marking in Japanese
Grammatical encoding is one of the earliest stages in linguistic encoding. One broadly accepted view holds that grammatical encoding is primarily or exclusively affected by production ease, rather than communicative considerations. This contrasts with proposals that speakers’ preferences during grammatical encoding reflect a trade-off between production ease and communicative goals. In three re...

Recent work suggests that language production exhibits a bias towards efficient information transmission.

This tradeoff has been hypothesized to shape grammatical systems over generations, contributing to cross...
