   Attempts have been made to determine how an infant learns a "non-normal grammar" as theorized by Chomsky normal form. [9] Research in this area combines structural approaches with computational models to analyze large linguistic corpora like the Penn Treebank , helping to uncover patterns in language acquisition.
