Abstract

We argue that the Greek evidence calls for a substantial revision of the clear-cut interaction between transparency/predictability and regularity, to make room for a more process-oriented notion of regularity. According to this view, regularity is no longer an epiphenomenon of the design of the human language faculty and the purported dualism between rule-based and memory-based routes, but the graded result of the varying interaction of several structural factors concurrently affecting the human word processor.
