Predicting Grammatical Classes from Phonological Cues: An Empirical Test
This paper investigates to what extent the grammatical class(es) of a word can be predicted on the basis of phonological and prosodic information only. We report on several experiments with an artificial learning system which has to assign English wordforms to their appropriate grammatical class, using various types of phonological and prosodic information. First of all, we examine several phon...
متن کاملConnectionist Explorations of Multiple-Cue Integration in Syntax Acquisition
Among the many feats of learning that children showcase in their development, syntactic abilities appear long before many other skills, such as riding bikes, tying shoes, or playing a musical instrument. This is achieved with little or no direct instruction, making it both impressive and even puzzling, because mastering natural language syntax is one of the most difficult learning tasks that hu...
متن کاملIs the input for prosodic bootstrapping of word order reliable? The case of phrasal prominence in Turkish and French
Prosody is often attributed a fundamental role in the process of language acquisition, allowing infants to use prosodic cues to begin to acquire the syntactic structures of their language. The Prosodic Bootstrapping process may combine a number of phonological phenomena (e.g., stress, rhythmic units, intonation), and recently, it has been proposed that a Rhythmic Activation Principle integratin...
متن کاملThe “Globularization Hypothesis” of the Language-ready Brain as a Developmental Frame for Prosodic Bootstrapping Theories of Language Acquisition
In recent research (Boeckx and Benítez-Burraco, 2014a,b) have advanced the hypothesis that our species-specific language-ready brain should be understood as the outcome of developmental changes that occurred in our species after the split from Neanderthals-Denisovans, which resulted in a more globular braincase configuration in comparison to our closest relatives, who had elongated endocasts. A...
متن کاملBootstrapping lexical and syntactic acquisition.
This paper focuses on how phrasal prosody and function words may interact during early language acquisition. Experimental results show that infants have access to intermediate prosodic phrases (phonological phrases) during the first year of life, and use these to constrain lexical segmentation. These same intermediate prosodic phrases are used by adults to constrain on-line syntactic analysis. ...
