Innateness, abstract names, and syntactic cues in how children learn the meanings of words
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 24 (6):1107-1108 (2001)
| Abstract | Bloom masterfully captures the state-of-the-art in the study of lexical acquisition. He also exposes the extent of our ignorance about the learning of names for non-observables. HCLMW adopts an innatist position without adopting modularity of mind; however, it seems likely that modularity is needed to bridge the gap between object names and the rest of the lexicon. | |||||||||
