Language learning, language use and the evolution of linguistic variation

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Kenny Smith and colleagues from the University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK have published the research: Language learning, language use and the evolution of linguistic variation, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of 25/Nov/2022
