CGSC 2001 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Physical Symbol System, Transformational Grammar, Atomic Sentence
Document Summary
The language that thoughts and languages are made up of. Thoughts process in this language conditions of the sentence. They allow us to break apart the sentence and figure out its true conditions. We must have a rule to tell us what. If she can explain if felicia is tall, then she has some understanding of felicia and what tall is and how they relate to each other. )t can"t be the language you are learning think about having a dictionary in a language you don"t know: children language learning game how children learn grammar (like past tense). As the child gets older, it gets harder for them to memorize past tense because there are a lot of verbs. Pinker and prince memorize everything so they have to make rules (rules are not always right). This is why children mess us past tense that they knew before. This is why performance drops a little bit when their rule is wrong.
