    "title": "Explaning Language Universals In Connectionist Networks: The Acquisition of Morphological Rules",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Across languages there are certain characteristics\nwhich they share. Linguists, trying to explain lan-\nguage universals, have c o m e up with different theo-\nries: They argue for (1) the innateness of general\nlinguistic principles, (2) the communicative func-\ntions reflected in linguistic structure, (3) the psy-\nchological d e m a n d s placed upon language users, or\n(4) grammar-internal explanations. This paper tries\nto explain s o m e of the morphological universals in\nthe framework of a connectionist network, support-\ning the third approach. Employing simple recurrent\nnetworks, a series of experiments were done on var-\nious types of morphological rules. T h e results show\nthat the model's performance mirrors the extent to\nwhich the different types of rules occur in natural\nlanguages. The paper explains how the model has\ndiscovered these universals.",
