{"pk":24243,"title":"Testing the Effects of the Implicative Structure and Noun Class Size on the Learnability of Inflectional Paradigms in Adults and Artificial Neural Networks","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Variation in inflectional morphology across languages raises questions about the factors affecting their learnability. This study explores the effects of two suggested factors: the implicative structure of the paradigm and the distribution of forms within it, and how they interact to affect the learnability of the system. Our results from a human behavioral study and artificial neural network simulations suggest that these factors influence learning, though type frequency may only serve as a proxy for the effects of token frequency.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Linguistics; Language learning; Morphology; Computational Modeling"}],"section":"Papers with Poster Presentation","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1hj6k6r5","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Tamar","middle_name":"","last_name":"Johnson","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Amsterdam","department":""},{"first_name":"Micha","middle_name":"","last_name":"Elsner","name_suffix":"","institution":"The Ohio State University","department":""},{"first_name":"Kenny","middle_name":"","last_name":"Smith","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Edinburgh","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2024-01-01T13:00:00-05:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/24243/galley/13839/download/"},{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/24243/galley/21595/download/"}]}
