Learnability of syntax 1 Running head: LEARNABILITY OF SYNTAX The learnability of abstract syntactic principles
The learnability of abstract syntactic principles Children acquiring language infer the correct form of syntactic constructions for which they appear to have little or no direct evidence, avoiding simple but incorrect generalizations that would be consistent with the data they receive. These generalizations must be guided by some inductive bias – some abstract knowledge – that leads them to pre...

This paper aims to provide a new approach to the development of clause structure in L1 acquisition on the basis of the distinction between LF-interpretable and LFuninterpretable features which is argued to have effects on learnability. The study concentrates on the acquisition of syntactic phenomena which are related to the syntax / pragmatics interface, namely focusing, dislocation and clitic-...
متن کاملSearch, Structure or Statistics? A Comparative Study of Memoryless Heuristics for Syntax Acquisition
Although several studies propose computational models of the process by which children acquire the syntax of their native language, most focus on a single algorithm applied in a single domain. Typically, the focus is learnability under what conditions an algorithm can or cannot acquire the grammar of the target (native) language. Here, we present a comparative study of 12 algorithmic heuristi...

This builds on previous work in which we have developed diagramming principles based on theories of structural object perception. We call these geon diagrams. We have previously shown that such diagrams are easy to remember and to analyze. To evaluate our hypothesis that geon diagrams should also be easy to understand we carried out an empirical study to evaluate the learnability of geon diagra...
