    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Learning argument structure constructions is believed to depend\non input properties. In particular, in a cued production\ntask, verb production within each construction has been shown\nto depend on three input factors: frequency of a verb in a construction,\ncontingency of verb–construction mapping, and verb\nsemantic prototypicality. Earlier studies have estimated these\nvalues from a language corpus, without accounting for variation\nin the input to individual learners. We use a computational\nmodel to control for such variation, and our results replicate\nthose reported for human learners. The second issue that we\naddress relates to different ways of representing constructions:\nwhile the earlier studies employ form-only representations, we\nrun an additional analysis for form–meaning representations.\nAgain, the results show the impact of all three input properties\non the verb production, but their relative impact depends on\nthe representations used.",
