Preschoolers' brains rely on semantic cues prior to the mastery of syntax during sentence comprehension
2016
NeuroImage
The current study provides both behavioral and neural evidence that five-year-old children compared to adults rely more on semantic information than on syntactic cues during sentence comprehension, but ...
Sentence comprehension requires the integration of both syntactic and semantic information, the acquisition of which seems to have different trajectories in the developing brain. ...

Multiple sources of competence underlying the comprehension of inconsistencies: A developmental investigation
2010
Journal of Experimental Psychology. Learning, Memory and Cognition
One possibility is that they are sensitive to the formal structure of the sentences and know that a proposition and its negation cannot be jointly true. ...
The results demonstrate that competence in understanding inconsistent relations depends on (a) the ability to represent 2 states of affairs and (b) the ability to process negation in the context of an ...

The Benefit of Assessment-Based Language and Reading Instruction: Perspectives From a Case Study
2002
Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education
Marcy moved to a suburb of a large Midwestern city with her adoptive parents. She had three older sisters, one of whom was deaf. ...
To compile the case study, we analyzed data from nine years of follow-up, including listening, speech articulation, semantic, syntactic, reading, and writing information drawn from a number of informal ...
Typical of readers at this early stage of developing word-recognition skills, Marcy did not attempt to segment unknown words beyond the first letter or rely on her limited knowledge of syntax to provide ...

Language development after cochlear implantation: an epigenetic model
2011
Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders
Prior to intervention, these participants were subject to naturally imposed constraints in sensory (acoustic-phonologic) inputs during critical phases of development when spoken language skills are typically ...
Here, we review neurobiological and genetic influences on spoken language development in the context of results of a longitudinal trial of cochlear implantation of young children with severe to profound ...

Language and communicative development in Williams syndrome

The syndrome has often been argued to provide strong evidence for the independence of language from other aspects of cognition. ...
In contrast, Landau et al. [2006] suggested that these difficulties may instead be due to problems in the alignment of the components of the sentence during the process of sentence production. ...

Mechanisms for interaction: Syntax as procedures for online interactive meaning building

Behavioral and Brain Sciences

We argue that to reflect participant interactivity in conversational dialogue, the Christiansen & Chater (C&C) perspective needs a formal grammar framework capturing word-by-word incrementality ...

The Now-or-Never bottleneck: A fundamental constraint on language
2015
Behavioral and Brain Sciences
How, then, can the brain deal successfully with the continual deluge of linguistic input? ...
We argue that, to deal with this "Now-or-Never" bottleneck, the brain must compress and recode linguistic input as rapidly as possible. ...

Hunting the Fox of Word Learning: Why "Constraints" Fail to Capture It
2000
Developmental Review
We cannot separate the effects of so-called constraints or biases from a wide range of cognitive and contextual influences on children's inferences about novel word meanings. ...
We are typically interested in mappings that allow generalizing of the lexeme to novel referents. ...
Just as children integrate syntactic and semantic (i.e., predicate) cues to infer novel word meanings, they rely on semantic information presented in particular pragmatic contexts. ...
