Abstract
The tendency to reuse syntactic constructions is often attributed to
syntactic priming. We devise a simple, distribution-based measure of
priming between linguistic constructions (or syntactic
rules/categories), and find priming in treebanks of dialogue corpora,
both for context-free production rules and for Combinatory Categorial
Grammar categories. It is stronger for task-oriented dialogues, and
stronger in lexical categories than in syntactic categories.
As priming cannot be measured directly in language corpora, we use the
decay of rule repetition probability as a proxy. A limitation of the
method presented here is that it conflates self-priming and
other-priming. However, we consider it a great advantage that our
method takes into account all rules or categories occurring in a given
corpus, not just a few carefully selected constructions.
