Tabla de Contenidos:
- Introduction
- Valency
- Linguistic approaches to valency and syntactic structure
- Implication for acquisition : syntax is simple
- Developmental evidence : the earliest word combinations are syntactic mergers
- Conclusions: children learn to merge two words according to their valency
- The learning curve
- The learning curve in cognitive psychology
- Implication for acquisition : syntax should transfer right away
- Developmental evidence : learning curves and generalizations in early syntax
- Conclusions: lexical specific syntactic frames facilitate others
- Lexicalism
- The linguistic basis to lexicalism
- Implication for acquisition : no abstract schema formation
- Developmental evidence : no change in the form of syntactic schemas
- Conclusions: children learn a lexicalist syntax
- Similarity
- Similarity for transfer and generalization
- Implication for acquisition : no role for semantic linking in learning syntax
- Developmental evidence : no semantic effects in generalization and transfer
- Conclusions: children utilize similarity of form to organize the process of acquisition
- The growth of syntax
- The language web
- Implication for acquisition : learning means linking to the network
- Developmental evidence : children recreate the global features of the maternal network
- Conclusions: children join the language network.
