Functional Categories in Language Acquisition : : Self-Organization of a Dynamical System / / Annette Hohenberger.
This study investigates the acquisition of Functional Categories (e.g., INFL (AGR, TNS), DET, COMP) from the perspective of self-organization in generative grammar. Language is conceived of as a dynamical system which evolves in time and bifurcates when critical thresholds are reached. The emergence...
