• Verb Learning in 14- and 18-Month-Old English-Learning Infants (2017, background): “First, analyses of child-directed speech corpora have identified various morphosyntactic cues to grammatical categories in speech to children (Cartwright & Brent, 1997; Maratsos & Chalkley, 1980; Mintz, 2003, 2006; Mintz, Newport, & Bever, 2002; Redington, Crater, & Finch, 1998).”
• The myth of language universals: language diversity and its importance for cognitive science. (2009, background): “Research on statistical learning (e.g., Saffran et al. 1996) shows that young infants are sensitive to language-specific transitional probabilities, correlational probabilities, and distributional features of the input (Höhle et al. 2004; Mintz 2006; Thiessen 2009).”
