Commentary: Developmental Constraints on Learning Artificial Grammars with Fixed, Flexible, and Free Word Order
A long standing hypothesis in linguistics is that typological generalizations can shed light on the nature of the cognitive constraints underlying language processing and acquisition. In this perspective, Nowak and Baggio (2017) address the question of whether human learning mechanisms are constrained in ways that reflect typologically attested (possible) or unattested (impossible) linguistic p...
متن کاملDevelopmental Constraints on Learning Artificial Grammars with Fixed, Flexible and Free Word Order
Human learning, although highly flexible and efficient, is constrained in ways that facilitate or impede the acquisition of certain systems of information. Some such constraints, active during infancy and childhood, have been proposed to account for the apparent ease with which typically developing children acquire language. In a series of experiments, we investigated the role of developmental ...
متن کاملDevelopmental Patterns in Flexible Word Order Acquisition
This paper presents an experimental study investigating the development of a flexible word order in early bilingual (2L) acquisition as opposed to monolingual (L1) acquisition 1 . In particular, it concerns the acquisition of direct object scrambling as a means of encoding specificity/definiteness by monolingual Ukrainian and bilingual English-Ukrainian children. Research within the last twenty...
متن کاملWord Order Constraints for Lexical Disambiguation of Interaction Grammars
We propose a new method to perform lexical disambiguation of Interaction Grammars. It deals with the order constraints on words. Actually, the soundness of the method is due to an invariant property of the parsing of an Interaction Grammar. We show how this invariant can be computed statically from the grammar.
متن کاملFree or Fixed Word Order: What Can Treebanks Reveal?
The paper describes an ongoing experiment consisting in the attempt to quantify word-order properties of three Indo-European languages (Czech, English and German). The statistics are collected from the syntactically annotated treebanks available for all three languages. The treebanks are searched by means of a universal query tool PML-TQ. The search concentrates on the mutual order of a verb an...
