{ "pk": 31869, "title": "Objects, actions, nouns, and verbs", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "This paper describes a lexical acquisition mechanism that was implemented in order to increase the robustness of a Natural Language Processing system. Although the mechanism was not intended to be a cognitive model of children's language acquisition, it demonstrates many similarities with psycholinguistic findings. In particular, the structure of the domain knowledge representation forces the system to take a bipolar approach to learning nouns and verbs. Psycholinguistic studies demonstrate differing treatment of nouns and verbs by children and suggest a structural basis for this difference. The knowledge-level similarities between our system and human linguistic knowledge make it possible to infer that children must adopt a similar strategy to effectively learn word meanings.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [], "section": "Refereed Papers", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9t7018x8", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Peter", "middle_name": "M .", "last_name": "Hastings", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "The University of Michigan", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Steven", "middle_name": "L.", "last_name": "Lytinen", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "DePaul University", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "1994-01-01T10:00:00-08:00", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/31869/galley/22936/download/" } ] }
