Abstract If we can operationalize corpus frequency in multiple ways, using absolute values and proportional values, which of them is more closely connected with the behaviour of language users? In this contribution, we examine overabundant cells in morphological paradigms, and look at the contribution that frequency of occurrence can make to understanding the choices speakers make due to this richness. We look at ways of operationalizing the term frequency in data from corpora and native speakers: the proportional frequency of forms (i. e. percentage of time that a variant is found in corpus data considered as a proportion of all variants) and several interpretations of absolute frequency (i. e. the raw frequency of variants in data from the same corpus). Working with data from unmotivated morphological variation in Czech case forms, we show that different instantiations of frequency help interpret the way variation is perceived and maintained by native speakers. Proportional frequency seems most salient for speakers in forming their judgements, while certain types of absolute frequency seem to have a dominant role in production tasks.

来自语料库的频率数据部分解释了过多范式单元中的母语使用者评级和选择

摘要如果我们可以使用绝对值和比例值以多种方式操作语料库频率，那么哪一个与语言用户的行为联系更紧密？在这一贡献中，我们研究了形态范式中的过多细胞，并研究了出现频率可以帮助理解由于其丰富性而做出的发言者做出的选择。我们研究了操作来自语料库和母语使用者的数据中的术语“频率”的方式：形式的比例频率（即，在语料数据中发现变体的时间百分比被视为所有变体的一部分）和绝对频率的几种解释（即同一语料库中数据变体的原始频率）。处理来自捷克案例形式中无动机的形态变化的数据，我们表明，频率的不同实例有助于解释母语使用者感知和维持变化的方式。比例频率似乎对于说话者做出判断最重要，而某些类型的绝对频率似乎在制作任务中起主导作用。
