Language Acquisition and Universal Grammar
How do babies get so good at language so quickly? Because they already know a lot from the beginning about how language works. In this week's episode of The Ling Space, we talk about Universal Grammar and evidence that babies are little language acquisition geniuses. This week's tag language: Japanese! This is Topic #1 - our very first video! Find us on all the social media worlds: Tumblr: thelingspace.tumblr.com Twitter: @TheLingSpace Facebook: www.facebook.com/thelingspace/ And at our website, www.thelingspace.com! The website also has extra content about the topic, as well as forums to discuss this episode, and linguistics more generally! If you're looking for the paper on the phonological models, that's Lisa Pearl's 2011 paper, "When unbiased probabilistic learning is not enough: Acquiring a parametric system of metrical phonology." http://www.socsci.uci.edu/~lpearl/pap...
