Zusatztext makes an important contribution to the ongoing debate about how much innate structure must be attributed to the language learner ... a very enjoyable and worthwhile book. Informationen zum Autor Peter W. Culicover is currently the Chair of the Department of Linguistics and Director of the Center for Cognitive Science at the Ohio State University. His current research is concerned with the architecture of the language faculty and its role in the dynamical aspects of language.Andrzej Nowak is Associate Professor of Psychology at Florida Atlantic University. His research interests are modeling and computer simulation of social processes. Klappentext Dynamical Grammar explores the consequences for language acquisition, language evolution, and linguistic theory of taking the underlying architecture of the language faculty to be that of a complex adaptive dynamical system. It contains the first results of a new and complex model of language acquisition which the authors have developed to measure how far language input is reflected in language output and thereby get a better idea of just how far the humanlanguage faculty is hard-wired. Zusammenfassung Explores the consequences for language acquisition, language evolution, and linguistic theory of taking the underlying architecture of the language faculty to be that of a complex adaptive dynamical system. It contains the first results of a complex model of language acquisition to measure how far language input is reflected in language output.
