Language Acquisition is Language Change
Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2006According to the theory of Universal Grammar, the primary linguistic data guides children through an innately specified space of hypotheses. On this view, similarities between child-English and adult-German are as unsurprising as similarities between cousins who have never met.

Theories of language acquisition
Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 1971Prior to the advent of generative grammar, theoretical approaches to language development relied heavily upon the concepts ofdifferential reinforcement andimitation. Current studies of linguistic acquisition are largely dominated by the hypothesis that the child constructs his language on the basis of a primitive grammar which gradually evolves into a ...

Rhythm in language acquisition
Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2017Spoken language is governed by rhythm. Linguistic rhythm is hierarchical and the rhythmic hierarchy partially mimics the prosodic as well as the morpho-syntactic hierarchy of spoken language. It can thus provide learners with cues about the structure of the language they are acquiring.

Language acquisition and language change
WIREs Cognitive Science, 2010AbstractChildren acquire a mature language system and sometimes this system differs from that of their parents. This is a significant part of language change and understanding acquisition is key to understanding this kind of change in people's internal grammars. I outline one approach to language acquisition, based on children finding cues expressed in

Seminars in Pediatric Neurology, 1997
Long before they start talking, children are skilled at using eye contact, facial expression, and nonverbal gestures to communicate with other people. They also are able to discriminate speech sounds from an early age. Vocabulary learning builds on the child's knowledge about objects, actions, locations, properties, and stages gained as a result of ...

On adaptive acquisition of language
International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 2002A system that automatically acquires a language model for a particular task from semantic-level information is described. This is in contrast to systems with predefined vocabulary and syntax. The purpose of the system is to map spoken or typed input into a machine action. To accomplish this task a medium-grain neural network is used.

Assessment of language acquisition
WIREs Cognitive Science, 2010AbstractThis review addresses questions of what should be assessed in language acquisition, and how to do it. The design of a language assessment is crucially connected to its purpose, whether for diagnosis, development of an intervention plan, or for research.

Language Play and Language Acquisition
1982Publisher Summary It has been observed that young children play with language. This activity has two aspects. One involves the use of language as an instrument for play. In such cases, children use language as a means to a goal. The second involves the use of language as both a means and a goal.

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).
