Is Syntactic Priming from Multiple Speakers Stronger
Syntactic priming in dialogue occurs when exposure to a particular syntactic structure implicitly induces a speaker's subsequent preference for the same syntactic structures in their own speech. Here, we asked whether this priming effect is boosted when individuals are primed by several different speakers as opposed to one. In an initial baseline session involving a picture description task, we assessed adult participants' production of double ob…
Properties of child-directed speech in bilingual parents: A study on partial repetitions
How parents talk to young children matters to language and cognitive development. In the early years the quantity, quality, and diversity inherent in language from parents in the home predict differences in vocabulary knowledge, school readiness, and later academic achievement. However, most of what is known about child-directed speech (CDS) comes from studies of monolingual parents, and little is known about features of speech from bilingual par…
Parental speech to typical and atypical populations: A study on linguistic partial repetition
Extra-linguistic modulation of the English noun-bias: Evidence from Malaysian bilingual infants and toddlers
Implicit learning of non-adjacent dependencies: A graded, associative account
Language and other higher-cognitive functions require structured sequential behavior including non-adjacent relations. A fundamental question in cognitive science is what computational machinery can support both the learning and representation of such non-adjacencies, and what properties of the input facilitate such processes. Learning experiments using miniature languages with adult and infants have demonstrated the impact of high variability (G…
An empirical generative framework for computational modeling of language acquisition
This paper reports progress in developing a computer model of language acquisition in the form of (1) a generative grammar that is (2) algorithmically learnable from realistic corpus data, (3) viable in its large-scale quantitative performance and (4) psychologically real. First, we describe new algorithmic methods for unsupervised learning of generative grammars from raw CHILDES data and give an account of the generative performance of the acqui…
