Integrating knowledge acquisition and language acquisition
Applied Intelligence, 1992Very large knowledge bases (KB's) constitute an important step for artificial intelligence and will have significant effects on the field of natural language processing. This thesis addresses the problem of effectively acquiring two large bodies of formalized knowledge: knowledge about the world (a KB), and knowledge about words (a lexicon).

COMPARATIVE PSYCHOLOGY AND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION*
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1978A science of psychology must assume that behavior is lawful. We recognize diversity, but we assume that both similarity and difference are products of the same fundamental laws that combine and recombine in unique ways to yield the rich diversity of behavior that we observe between and within species.

The acquisition of a second language
European Journal of Paediatric Neurology, 2000It is claimed that if children can begin to acquire a second language at an early age they will find it easier to develop fluency, and will speak it without an accent. Age is a factor in acquiring one's mother tongue, and this also applies when learning a second language.

Humans acquire language naturally, namely without specific instruction, by being exposed to it and by interacting with other human beings. According to the generativist enterprise, humans are endowed with a system of knowledge on the form of possible human languages (Universal Grammar).

Developments concerning the nature of language have taken place in the disparate disciplines of linguistics, ethology and neurology. It is not widely known that these developments have brought these fields of study into accord, and have helped clarify the mechanism of language acquisition in childhood. They carry practical implications important to the

AbstractThis article reviews current approaches to first language acquisition, arguing in favor of the theory that attributes to the child an innate knowledge of universal grammar. Such knowledge can accommodate the systematic nature of children's non‐adult linguistic behaviors.
