Solving Learnability Problems in the Acquisition of Semantics
This paper proposes solutions to two semantic learnability problems that have featured prominently in the literature on language acquisition. Both problems have often been deemed unsolvable for language learners as a matter of logic, and they have accordingly been taken to motivate principles making sure they will not actually arise in the course of language acquisition. One problem concerns the acquisition of ambiguous sentences whose readings a…
The Question-Answer Requirement for scope assignment
This paper focuses on children’s interpretation of sentences containing negation and a quantifier (e.g., The detective didn’t find some guys). Recent studies suggest that, although children are capable of accessing inverse scope interpretations of such sentences, they resort to surface scope to a larger extent than adults. To account for children’s behavioral pattern, we propose a new factor at play in Truth Value Judgment tasks: the Question–Ans…
The rise and fall of Isomorphism
Why children and adults sometimes (but not always) compute implicatures
Noveck (2001 Noveck, I. 2001. When children are more logical than adults: Experimental investigations of scalar implicatures. Cognition, 78: 168–188. [Crossref] , [Google Scholar]) argued that children even as old as 11 do not reliably endorse a scalar interpretation of weak scalar terms (some, might, or) (cf. Braine & Rumain, 1981 Braine, M. and Roumain, B. 1981. Children's comprehension of “or”: Evidence for a sequence of competencies. Journal …

Some knowledge children dont lack
Experimental studies on children's understanding of indefinite NPs and negation report a systematic non-adult interpretation of sentences like The detective didn't find some guys (see Musolino 1998). In this article, we question whether these findings require a grammatical explanation. We draw upon the observation that negative statements are generally used to point out discrepancies between the facts and the listener's expectations, and that thi…
