In this paper, we propose an explanation of this finding based on the notion of segmentation ambiguity. We show that English has a very low segmentation ambiguity compared to Japanese and that this difference correlates with the segmentation performance in a...
متن کاملThe Semantic Spaces of Child-Directed Speech, Child Speech and Adult-directed Speech: A Manifold Perspective
