Nevertheless, we attempt to predict short-term changes in the frequency of new Swedish words based on some measures of their linguistic and social dissemination. We show that it is possible to predict the direction of change with a higher-than-baseline accuracy. Most interestingly, we show that predictions are much less accurate for those words that denote new phenomena than for those who are new signifiers for already existing phenomena.}, booktitle = {Live and learn: Festschrift in honor of Lars Borin / Editors: Elena Volodina, Dana Dannélls, Aleksandrs Berdicevskis, Markus Forsberg, Shafqat Virk}, author = {Berdicevskis, Aleksandrs and Adesam, Yvonne and Coussé, Evie}, year = {2022}, publisher = {Institutionen för svenska, flerspråkighet och språkteknologi, Göteborgs universitet}, address = {Göteborg}, ISBN = {978-91-87850-83-7}, pages = {5--12}, } @article{berdicevskis-semenuks-2022-imperfect-313148, title = {Imperfect language learning reduces morphological overspecification: Experimental evidence}, journal = {PLoS ONE}, author = {Berdicevskis, Aleksandrs and Semenuks, Arturs}, year = {2022}, volume = {17}, number = {1}, pages = {1--26}, } @edited_book{volodina-etal-2022-live-320415, title = {Live and Learn- Festschrift in honor of Lars Borin}, abstract = {This Festschrift has been compiled to honor Professor Lars Borin on his 65th anniversary.
