Why do children learn nouns such as cup faster than dimensional adjectives big? Most explanations of this phenomenon rely on prior knowledge the noun-adjective distinction or logical priority arguments predicates. In article we examine an alternative account, one which relies instead properties semantic categories to be learned and word-learning task itself. We isolate four properties: The relative size, compactness, degree overlap regions in representational space associated with...

This article examines the implications of connectionist models cognition for second language theory. Connectionism offers a challenge to symbolic which dominate cognitive science. In all knowledge is embodied in network simple processing units joined by connections are strengthened or weakened response regularities input patterns. These avoid brittleness approaches, and they exhibit rule-like behavior without explicit rules. A framework proposed within hypotheses about acquisition can be...

The Universal Morphology (UniMorph) project is a collaborative effort providing broad-coverage instantiated normalized morphological inflection tables for hundreds of diverse world languages. comprises two major thrusts: language-independent feature schema rich annotation and type-level resource annotated data in languages realizing that schema. This paper presents the expansions improvements made on several fronts over last couple years (since McCarthy et al. (2020)). Collaborative efforts...

Pulsed-field-ionization zero-kinetic-energy photoelectron spectra of jet-cooled allyl radical (C(3)H(5)) have been recorded following single-photon and resonant multiphoton excitation. Simulations based on an orbital ionization model rovibronic photoionization selection rules reliably describe the observed intensity distributions in obtained from excitation ground state via 3s 3p Rydberg states. More than 30 transitions to vibrational levels cation were identified assigned basis predictions...

Simulations using artificial language stimuli demonstrate capacity to learn suffixation, prefixation, infixation, circumfixation, mutation, template, deletion rules. Separate network modules responsible for syllables enable simple reduplication rules as well. also embodies constraints against...

This paper presents an application of finite state transducers weighted with feature structure descriptions, following Amtrup (2003), to the morphology Semitic language Tigrinya. It is shown that feature-structure weights provide efficient way handling templatic characterizes verb stems as well long-distance dependencies characterizing complex Tigrinya morphotactics. A relatively complete computational implementation described.
