Foundations of cognitive grammar

TL;DR: Initial empirical results suggest that the agent-environment interaction is a good approximation to human behavior in the UAV environment, and the project’s modeling approach, challenges faced, progress made toward an integrated synthetic teammate, and lessons learned during development are covered.

TL;DR: The authors argue that comprehenders are sensitive to meaning-structure correlations based not on the verb itself but on its specific senses, and that they exploit this information on-line to learn and exploit meaning-form correlations at the level of individual verb senses.

TL;DR: It is argued that most markedness constraints may in fact emerge in the course of linguistic development through the child's monitoring of her own performance, and that infants require knowledge of markedness during language acquisition in order to transcend the limitations of inductive generalization.

TL;DR: The role of data in language documentation is rather different from the way that data is traditionally treated in language description, which serves essentially as exemplification and support for the linguist’s analysis.
