Cognitive Aspects Of Computational Language Acquisition

Questions Related To Language Acquisition Have Been Of Interest For Many Centuries, As Children Seem To Acquire A Sophisticated Capacity For Processing Language With Apparent Ease, In The Face Of Ambiguity, Noise And Uncertainty. However, With Recent Advances In Technology And Cognitive-related Research It Is Now Possible To Conduct Large-scale Computational Investigations Of These Issuesthe Book Discusses Some Of The Latest Theoretical And Practical Developments In The Areas Involved, Including Computational Models For Language Tasks, Tools And Resources That Help To Approximate The Linguistic Environment Available To Children During Acquisition, And Discussions Of Challenging Aspects Of Language That Children Have To Master. This Is A Much-needed Collection That Provides A Cross-section Of Recent Multidisciplinary Research On The Computational Modeling Of Language Acquisition.
