This book presents recent advances by leading researchers in computational modelling of language acquisition. The contributors have been drawn from departments of linguistics, cognitive science, psychology, and computer science. They show what light can be thrown on fundamental problems when powerful computational techniques are combined with real data. The book considers the extent to which linguistic structure is readily available in the environment, the degree to which language learning is inductive or deductive, and the power of different modelling formalisms for different problems and approaches. It will appeal to linguists, psychologists, cognitive scientists working in language acquisition,and to those involved in computational modelling in linguistic and behavioral science.
Peter Broeder is at Tilburg University (Intercultrual Communication). Previously he participated in the European Science Foundation Project on the ecology of adult language acquisition (Max Planck Institute, Nijmegen). He currently directs large scale language surveys in Europe and South Africa. Jaap Murre is a Research Fellow in the Department of Psychology, University of Amsterdam. Previously he worked as a scientist at the Applied Psychology Unit of the Medical Research Council in Cambridge. Dr Murre also heads a research group sponsored by a PIONIER grant from the Netherlands Organzation for Scientific Research (NWO).
