A probabilistic constraints approach to language acquisition and processing
This article provides an overview of a probabilistic constraints framework for thinking about language acquisition and processing. The generative approach attempts to characterize knowledge of language (i.e., competence grammar) and then asks how this knowledge is acquired and used. Our approach is performance oriented: the goal is to explain how people comprehend and produce utterances and how...
متن کاملProbabilistic Constraints in Language Acquisition
An approach to language acquisition is described in which the foundational questions are about how the child acquires adult-like language processing capacities. This approach assumes that the child’s primary task is not to identify the grammar of the target language, but rather to learn to comprehend and produce utterances in the service of communicating with others. In this framework the input...
متن کاملA Dynamical System Approach to Research in Second Language Acquisition
Epistemologically speaking, second language acquisition research (SLAR) might be reconsidered from a complex dynamical system view with interconnected aspects in the ecosystem of language acquisition. The present paper attempts to introduce the tenets of complex system theory and its application in SLAR. It has been suggested that the present dominant traditions in language acquisition research...
متن کاملProbabilistic models of language processing and acquisition.
Probabilistic methods are providing new explanatory approaches to fundamental cognitive science questions of how humans structure, process and acquire language. This review examines probabilistic models defined over traditional symbolic structures. Language comprehension and production involve probabilistic inference in such models; and acquisition involves choosing the best model, given innate...
