How grammatical categories are born: gender, case and predictive processing in children and adults

Speaker:
Filip Smolík (Czech Academy of Sciences, Institute of Psychology)
Abstract:
The current work of our research group focuses on the acquisition and representation of grammatical categories, and how the predictive nature of language processing may be a part of their acquisition. I will demonstrate several lines of our experimental research on language processing and acquisition, including the work on whether and how Czech children and adults use the phonological shape of words to learn their gender categorization. I will focus on how corpus data on words and their forms might inform our research and the hypotheses we test in human language users and learners.
