Acquisition of the T and C system in clausal complements
… embedded clauses produced by children in the CHILDES database were studied. It was discovered that young children often delete to in nonfinite embedded clauses, and that they use that in the C position of finite imbedded clauses far less often than adults do. By adapting Wexler's (1998) theory …

Unsupervised syntactic category learning from child-directed speech
… input set of child-directed speech from the CHILDES database. Hierarchical clustering, K-Means analysis, and an implementation of a substitution algorithm are all used to assign syntactic categories to words based on their linear distributional context. Overall, open classes (nouns, verbs, …

Experiencing language in the order that children do: Training on age-ordered child-directed speech facilitates semantic category learning in a recurrent neural network
Previous work has shown that semantic category knowledge can be captured by a distributional learning algorithm operating over naturalistic, noisy child-directed speech (Huebner & Willits, 2018). In chapter 1 of this work, I discuss the algorithm behind this study, and its ability to represent …
