How does a young child tease them apart within just a few years of language acquisition? In this book, drawing an economic analogy, Charles Yang argues that just as the price of goods is determined by the balance between supply and demand, the price of linguistic productivity arises from the quantitative considerations of rules and exceptions. The learner postulates a productive rule only if it results in a more efficient organization of language, with the number of exceptions falling below a critical threshold. Supported by a wide range of cases with corpus evidence, Yang's Tolerance Principle gives a unified account of many long-standing puzzles in linguistics and psychology, including why children effortlessly acquire rules of language that perplex otherwise capable adults. His focus on computational efficiency provides novel insight on how language interacts with the other components of cognition and how the ability for language might have emerged during the course of human evolution"--Publisher's website. 001385811 588__ $$aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 001385811 650_0 $$aLanguage acquisition$$xAge factors. 001385811 650_0 $$aLinguistic analysis (Linguistics) 001385811 650_0 $$aBilingualism in children. 001385811 650_0 $$aComputational linguistics. 001385811 653__ $$aLINGUISTICS & LANGUAGE/Language Acquisition 001385811 653__ $$aCOGNITIVE SCIENCES/General 001385811 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001385811 852__ $$bebk 001385811 85640 $$3MIT Press$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/9780262035323.001.0001?locatt=mode:legacy$$zOnline Access through The MIT Press Direct 001385811 85642 $$3OCLC metadata license agreement$$uhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf 001385811 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1385811$$pGLOBAL_SET 001385811 980__ $$aBIB 001385811 980__ $$aEBOOK 001385811 982__ $$aEbook 001385811 983__ $$aOnline
