The acquisition of syntactic knowledge

OSTI ID:5673321
This work in computational linguistics describes a break-through in the design of expert systems because it suggests how extensive knowledge might be acquired automatically, without outside intervention. Computationally, the author looks at the developmental problem of the interaction between innate genetic endowment and environmental input, using computational methods to uncover the constraints on the acquisition of syntactic knowledge. Learning and syntax problems are also explored: how lexical categories, phonological rule systems, and phrase structure rules are learned; the role of semantic-syntactic interaction in language acquisition; how a ''parameter setting'' model may be formalized as a learning procedure; how multiple constraints interact to aid acquisition; how transformational-type rules may be learned; and the role of lexical ambiguity in language acquisition.
