Typically, the flight to the goldfields did not go unchallenged.
Goldfield (1993) proposed that simpler morphology enhances acquisition of word stems.
A theme, stressed by practitioners of the linguistic turn, that resonates in goldfields protest, is the ' narratives of leadership ' that were drawn upon in the new context.
Goldfield looked for the appearance of particular types of words and computed the probability with which these different types of words occurred in different utterance positions (' word-based ' probability).
