Psycholinguistic research has shown that the influence of abstract syntactic knowledge on performance is shaped by particular sentences that have been experienced. To explore this idea, the authors applied a connectionist model of sentence production to the development and use of abstract syntax. The model makes use of (a) error-based learning to acquire and adapt sequencing mechanisms and (b) meaning-form mappings to derive syntactic representations. The model is able to account for most of what is known about structural priming in adult speakers, as well as key findings in preferential looking and elicited production studies of language acquisition. The model suggests how abstract knowledge and concrete experience are balanced in the development and use of syntax.
心理语言学研究表明，抽象句法知识对表现的影响是由所经历的特定句子塑造的。为了探究这一观点，作者将句子生成的联结主义模型应用于抽象句法的发展和使用。该模型利用（a）基于错误的学习来获取和调整序列机制，以及（b）意义-形式映射来推导句法表征。该模型能够解释成年说话者中已知的大部分关于结构启动的内容，以及语言习得的偏好注视和诱发产出研究中的关键发现。该模型揭示了在句法的发展和使用中抽象知识与具体经验是如何平衡的。
