SoL #8
:left_speech_bubble: Acquisition01
The logical problem
of (1st) language acquisition
:question: How can :baby::skin-tone-3: learn L1 easily, rapidly, & uniformly in the face of impoverished data?
Impoverished data :arrow_right: Poverty Of The Stimulus (Pavlov)
:bulb: Lack of stimulus
:left_speech_bubble: principles
:bulb: Fundamental :left_speech_bubble: system/rules that exist in all :left_speech_bubble:
This helps explain
speed of L1 acquisition
:key: Account for diversity of :earth_asia: :left_speech_bubble: & capture systematic differences btwn :left_speech_bubble:
:key: Generally formulated as binary options
:key: Restrict the number of options :baby::skin-tone-3: have 2 filter through 2 learn L1
:memo: noun, verb, adj., adverb
:left_speech_bubble: parameters
:bulb: Features that differentiate
a :left_speech_bubble: frm the others;
:left_speech_bubble: variations
