    "title": "A Computational Model of the Acquisition of German Case",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "We present a computational model of the acquisition of\nGerman case that is evaluated against empirical data obtained\nfrom naturalistic speech. The model substitutes nouns into\nexisting contexts, and proceeds through a number of stages that\nreflect increasing knowledge on the part of a child, both of the\ndeterminer-noun sequences that are legal in German, and of the\ndeterminer-noun sequences that are appropriate in specific\nsentential contexts (cases). The model provides a natural\naccount of gender and case errors, the two most common error\ntypes produced by children, and shows the highest error rates\nin dative contexts and lowest error rates in nominative contexts,\nas is true of children learning German. However, the model’s\nerror rates in the early stages are considerably higher than those\nshown by children, suggesting that children possess a fairly\nsophisticated representation of how lexical contexts assign case\nfrom a relatively early age.",
