Structured Semantic Knowledge Can Emerge Automatically from Predicting Word Sequences in Child-Directed Speech
Previous research has suggested that distributional learning mechanisms may contribute to the acquisition of semantic knowledge. However, distributional learning mechanisms, statistical learning, and contemporary "deep learning" approaches have been criticized for being incapable of learning the kind of abstract and structured knowledge that many think is required for acquisition of semantic kn...
متن کاملThe Semantic Spaces of Child-Directed Speech, Child Speech and Adult-directed Speech: A Manifold Perspective
Child-directed speech (CDS) is a talking style adopted by caregivers when they talk to toddlers (Snow, 1995). We consider the role of distributional semantic features of CDS in language acquisition. We view semantic structure as a manifold on which words lie. We compare the semantic structure of verbs in CDS to the semantic structure of child speech (CS) and adult-directed speech (ADS) by measu...
متن کاملAn Automatically Aligned Corpus of Child-Directed Speech
Forced alignment would enable phonetic analyses of child directed speech (CDS) corpora which have existing transcriptions. But existing alignment systems are inaccurate due to the atypical phonetics of CDS. We adapt a Kaldi forced alignment system to CDS by extending the dictionary and providing it with heuristically-derived hints for vowel locations. Using this system, we present a new time-al...
متن کاملWhen Meaning Is Not Enough: Distributional and Semantic Cues to Word Categorization in Child Directed Speech
One of the most important tasks in first language development is assigning words to their grammatical category. The Semantic Bootstrapping Hypothesis postulates that, in order to accomplish this task, children are guided by a neat correspondence between semantic and grammatical categories, since nouns typically refer to objects and verbs to actions. It is this correspondence that guides childre...
متن کاملWord stress correlates in spontaneous child-directed speech in German
In this paper we focus on the use of acoustic as well as voice quality parameters to mark word stress in German. Our aim was to identify the speech parameters parents use to indicate word stress differences to their children. Therefore, mothers and their children were recorded during a period of at least one year while they performed a special playing task using word pairs that differ only in t...
