Language development and acquisition in children
Language acquisition is a natural developmental process and is unique to Homo sapiens in which a child acquiring his or her mother tongue as a first language. The simplest theory of language development is that children learn language by imitating adult language. A second possibility is that children acquire language through conditioning.

متن کاملModeling language acquisition and representation: connectionist networks
Connectionism, Parallel Distributed Processing (PDP), or neural networks have had a profound impact on cognitive sciences in the last two decades. Language, as one of the central human cognitive components, has received in-depth treatments since the beginning of connectionist research. The acquisition of the English past tense (Rumelhart & McClelland, 1986), the recognition of speech (McClellan...
متن کاملSelf-organizing map models of language acquisition
Connectionist models have had a profound impact on theories of language. While most early models were inspired by the classic parallel distributed processing architecture, recent models of language have explored various other types of models, including self-organizing models for language acquisition. In this paper, we aim at providing a review of the latter type of models, and highlight a numbe...

In his 1994 doctoral thesis, Morten Christiansen used connectionist modeling to demonstrate that models could produce recursive language-like output without the use of prescribed recursive rules. The purpose of this paper is to provide a brief overview of Christiansen’s arguments and the models he used to support them, as a foundation for understanding their implications regarding the role of r...
متن کاملRunning Head : THE MULTIPLE INFLECTION GENERATOR
The next challenge for connectionist models of the acquisition of inflectional morphology (IM) is to increase their generality: across inflectional paradigms, across grammatical classes, and ultimately across languages. We present a new model of IM that draws together elements of several existing connectionist models and which acquires multiple inflectional paradigms across three grammatical cl...
