Acquiring Grammatical Aspect via Lexical Aspect: the Continuity Hypothesis
Previous research in child language acquisition identifies discrepancies between child and adult use of verbal inflectional morphology In this paper, we consider a case of partial undergeneralization where children's use of the-ed and-ing endings seems constrained by the aspectual class of the host verb. Children, more than adults, seem reluctant to generalize the imperfective morpheme to state...
متن کاملNaive Physics, Event Perception, Lexical Semantics and Language Acquisition
In a companion paper, Siskind (1991) argues that during the early bootstrapping stages of language acquisition, when children start out without knowing either syntax or the meanings of any words, children are aided in their task by hypothesizing a set of potential meanings for each utterance heard. For example, a child hearing the utterance John entered the room would look out into her environm...
متن کاملEvaluating Compositionality in Sentence Embeddings
An important frontier in the quest for human-like AI is compositional semantics: how do we design systems that understand an infinite number of expressions built from a finite vocabulary? Recent research has attempted to solve this problem by using deep neural networks to learn vector space embeddings of sentences, which then serve as input to supervised learning problems like paraphrase detect...
متن کاملThe Naive Physics Perplex
ion in physical reasoning. Approximation and abstraction in physical reasoning takes many forms: Objects of complex characteristics can be approximated by objects of simpler characteristics (for example, a real resistor by an ideal resistor or a curved object by a polyhedral object), a group of objects can be approximated by a single object (figure 10), and a group of simple objects can be appr...
متن کاملA New Hypothesis on Compositionality
In this paper we put forward a new hypothesis on compositionality of meaning, namely that compositionality is bidirectional optimization. Underspecification approaches to natural language interpretation generally start with an underspecified or weak meaning, which is strengthened by contextual information. In contrast, the bidirectional optimization approach we advocate proceeds from the strong...
