Prior Pronunciation Knowledge Bootstraps Word Learning
Learners often struggle with L2 sounds, yet little is known about the role of prior pronunciation knowledge and explicit articulatory training in language acquisition. This study asks if existing pronunciation knowledge can bootstrap word learning, and whether short-term audiovisual articulatory training for tongue position with and without a production component has an effect on lexical retent...
متن کاملPrior Knowledge Bootstraps Cross-Situational Learning
Recent research has highlighted the ability of adults as well as infants to learn word-to-world mappings over the course of statistical occurrences containing within-trial ambiguity. Participants in these studies are unfamiliar with all words and referents at the onset of these experiments, which differs from real-life word learning experience, in which learners are unlikely to enter a situatio...
متن کاملInfant speech perception bootstraps word learning.
By their first birthday, infants can understand many spoken words. Research in cognitive development has long focused on the conceptual changes that accompany word learning, but learning new words also entails perceptual sophistication. Several developmental steps are required as infants learn to segment, identify and represent the phonetic forms of spoken words, and map those word forms to dif...
متن کاملLearning Word Representations with Regularization from Prior Knowledge
Conventional word embeddings are trained with specific criteria (e.g., based on language modeling or co-occurrence) inside a single information source, disregarding the opportunity for further calibration using external knowledge. This paper presents a unified framework that leverages pre-learned or external priors, in the form of a regularizer, for enhancing conventional language model-based e...
متن کاملWord-form familiarity bootstraps infant speech segmentation.
At about 7 months of age, infants listen longer to sentences containing familiar words - but not deviant pronunciations of familiar words (Jusczyk & Aslin, 1995). This finding suggests that infants are able to segment familiar words from fluent speech and that they store words in sufficient phonological detail to recognize deviations from a familiar word. This finding does not examine whether i...
