Social Salience Discriminates Learnability of Contextual Cues in an Artificial Language
We investigate the learning of contextual meaning by adults in an artificial language. Contextual meaning here refers to the non-denotative contextual information that speakers attach to a linguistic construction. Through a series of short games, played online, we test how well adults can learn different contextual meanings for a word-formation pattern in an artificial language. We look at whet...
متن کاملLearnability , representation , and language
Within the metaphor of the “mind as a computation device” that dominates cognitive science, understanding human cognition means understanding learnability – not only what (and how) the brain learns, but also what data is available to it from the world. Ideal learnability arguments seek to characterize what knowledge is in theory possible for an ideal reasoner to acquire, which illuminates the p...
متن کاملPhonological complexity and language learnability.
PURPOSE To extend formal models of language learnability to applications in clinical treatment of children with functional phonological delays. METHOD The focus of the narrative review is on phonological complexity. This follows from learnability theory, whereby complexity in the linguistic input to children has been shown to trigger language learning. Drawing from the literature, phonologica...
متن کاملThe BLISS programming language: a history
The BLISS programming language was invented by William A. Wulf and others at Carnegie-Mellon University in 1969, originally for the DEC PDP-10. BLISS-10 caught the interest of Ronald F. Brender of DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation). After several years of collaboration, including the creation of BLISS-11 for the PDP11, BLISS was adopted as DEC’s implementation language for use on its new line ...
متن کاملIntroduction: Factors in Language Learnability
Recent theories suggest that language acquisition is assisted by the evolution of languages towards forms that are easily learnable. In this paper, we evolve combinatorial languages which can be learned by a recurrent neural network quickly and from relatively few examples. Additionally, we evolve languages for generalization in different "worlds", and for generalization from specific examples....
