The Development of Language: Acquisition, Change, and Evolution: 1 (Blackwell/Maryland Lectures in Language and Cognition) - Tapa blanda
Críticas
"My favourite parts were those that gave detailed explanations for learning in the context of a changing language input: how children solve the problem of an emergent syntactic property, one that doesn't appear to cohere with the rest of the system, with the result that the grammar is reorganized in the next generation." Lila Gleitman "David Lightfoot is addressing the core questions of the study of language: what it is, how it comes to be that way, how the child acquires it. His account is richly textured, integrating many different approaches with lucidity and insight. His analyses and conclusions are challenging and provocative, both for specialists in the particular areas he brings together, and for those seeking a clear picture of current understanding and open problems." Noam Chomsky 'There can be little question that it will represent a major work, required reading for anyone with interests in this area.' Mark Hale, Concordia University "This book challenges conventional understanding of language learning by showing that language change is essentially contingent-unpredictable but explainable. The role of natural selection in facilitating the understanding of the evolution of the language faculty in the human species is contested." Psycholinguistics
Reseña del editor
How and why do languages change over time? Could the way an individual child develops affect aggregate language change? What do the mechanisms of change tell us about the evolution of language in our species? To answer these questions, David Lightfoot looks closely at young children. A child develops a grammar on exposure to some triggering experience. A small perturbation in the trigger may entail a different grammar in the next population of speakers, with dramatic effects. This 'sensitive dependence on initial conditions' is the key to explaining how languages change, and why they change in fits and starts.The 'cue-based' approach to language acquisition presented here is a radical departure from formal models of language learning. Lightfoot challenges conventional understanding by showing that language change is essentially contingent - unpredictable but explainable; and he contests how far natural selection enables us to understand the evolution of the language faculty in the species.
