  2. Statistical learning in language acquisition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_learning_in...

    The role of statistical learning in language acquisition has been particularly well documented in the area of lexical acquisition. [1] One important contribution to infants' understanding of segmenting words from a continuous stream of speech is their ability to recognize statistical regularities of the speech heard in their environments. [1]

  3. Statistical language acquisition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_Language...

    Statistical language acquisition, a branch of developmental psycholinguistics, studies the process by which humans develop the ability to perceive, produce, comprehend, and communicate with natural language in all of its aspects (phonological, syntactic, lexical, morphological, semantic) through the use of general learning mechanisms operating on statistical patterns in the linguistic input.

  4. Language acquisition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_acquisition

    Statistical learning (and more broadly, distributional learning) can be accepted as a component of language acquisition by researchers on either side of the "nature and nurture" debate. From the perspective of that debate, an important question is whether statistical learning can, by itself, serve as an alternative to nativist explanations for ...

    The acquisition of language is a universal feat and it is believed we are all born with an innate structure initially proposed by Chomsky in the 1960s. The Language Acquisition Device (LAD) was presented as an innate structure in humans which enabled language learning. Individuals are thought to be "wired" with universal grammar rules enabling ...

    In the research, it was found that 8 month old infants were able to use simple statistics to identify word boundaries in speech. The results of the research highlight that language acquisition is a process of learning through statistical means.

    First book that addressed statistical and neural network learning of language. Speech and Language Processing: An Introduction to Natural Language Processing, Speech Recognition, and Computational Linguistics – by Daniel Jurafsky and James H. Martin. [21] Introductory book on language technology.

  8. Bootstrapping (linguistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrapping_(linguistics)

    Proponents of statistical learning believe that it is the basis for higher level learning, and that humans use the statistical information to create a database which allows them to learn higher-order generalizations and concepts. For a child acquiring language, the challenge is to parse out discrete segments from a continuous speech stream.

  9. Speech acquisition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech_acquisition

    While grammatical and syntactic learning can be seen as a part of language acquisition, speech acquisition includes the development of speech perception and speech production over the first years of a child's lifetime. There are several models to explain the norms of speech sound or phoneme acquisition in children.
