Three independent arguments are offered in favor of this position: one based on parsimony considerations, one employing the McCullogh-Pitts (1943) model of neurons, and a purely linguistic one. ...
The central claim of the paper is that NL stringsets are regular. ...

Our essential arguments have been the following:
The families of contextual languages are incomparable with some basic families in the Chomsky hierarchy (with LIN and CF) or in refinements of this hierarchy ...

This study investigated whether formal complexity, as described by the Chomsky Hierarchy, corresponds to cognitive complexity during language learning. ...
These behavioral findings do not seem to reflect complexity differences as described in the Chomsky Hierarchy. ...

We then review the Chomsky hierarchy in the context of the theory of computation and formal learning theory. ...
However, it is necessary to combine and constrain the interpretation of ALL results by theoretical models and empirical studies on natural language processing. ...
This suggests that the distinctions made by the Chomsky hierarchy might not be natural from a learning perspective, whether in AGL or in natural language acquisition. ...

ABSTBACT This paper is a reply to Manning and Parker's &rrtguage Sciences 11. 43-65 (1989)l recent contribution in this journal on the basic word order frequency hierarchy for natural languages. ...
It argues that Manning and Parker are wrong when they assume that the majority of previously offered explanations for the hierarchy are to be rejected because of a flavor of Lamarckianism, a theory of ...
According to Manning and Parker (1989) , the existing accounts for the basic word order frequency hierarchy are either of a formal or of a functional nature. ...

In this paper, we propose to improve models and techniques used in Grammatical Inference by using ideas coming from linguistic studies. In that way, we try to give a new bio-inspiration to this field. ...
