Abstract

Human languages contain very little unconditioned variation.In contexts where language learners are exposed to input thatcontains inconsistencies, they tend to regularise it, either byeliminating competing variants, or conditioning variant use onthe context. In the present study we compare regularisationbehaviour across linguistic levels, looking at how adult learn-ers respond to variability in morphology and word order. Ourresults suggest similar strengths in regularisation between lin-guistic levels given input languages whose complexity is com-parable.
