The acquisition of language by children [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2001 Imagine that you are faced with the following challenge. You must discover the internal structure of a system that contains tens of thousands of units, all generated from a small set of materials. These units, in turn, can be assembled into an infinite number of combinations. Although only a subset of those combinations is correct, the subset itself is

Balancing generalization and lexical conservatism : an artificial language study with child learners [PDF]
, 2011 Successful language acquisition involves generalization, but learners must balance this against the acquisition of lexical constraints. Such learning has been considered problematic for theories of acquisition: if learners generalize abstract patterns to
