Whether children require "negative evidence" (i.e., information about which strings of words are not grammatical sentences) to eliminate their ungrammatical utterances is a central question in language acquisition because, lacking negative evidence, a child would require internal mechanisms to unlearn grammatical errors. Several recent studies argue that parents provide noisy feedback, that is,...

متن کاملBilingual Babbling: Evidence for Language Differentiation in Dual Language Acquisition
In this study, we examined the babbling of a pre-verbal child who was learning English and French simultaneously. There were three overarching goals to the research: 1) To examine evidence for language differentiation during pre-lexical stages of bilingual acquisition; 2) To examine whether the time course of phonological development during the pre-verbal stages of bilingual acquisition is in l...
متن کاملLanguage acquisition in the absence of explicit negative evidence: how important is starting small?
It is commonly assumed that innate linguistic constraints are necessary to learn a natural language, based on the apparent lack of explicit negative evidence provided to children and on Gold's proof that, under assumptions of virtually arbitrary positive presentation, most interesting classes of languages are not learnable. However, Gold's results do not apply under the rather common assumption...
