The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Grammar-Based Grounded Lexicon Learning (2022, background): “Grammar-based and grounded language learning have also been studied in linguistics, with related work to ours studying on how humans use grammar as constraints in learning meaning [39] and how learning syntactic rules and semantic meanings in language bootstrap each other[1, 42].”
Infants' Ability to Learn Phonetically Similar Words: Effects of Age and Vocabulary Size (2002, background): “…object, they are more likely to generalize that label to other objects that are perceptually similar to the labeled object than they are to objects that are perceptually dissimilar (Diesendruck & Shatz, 1997; Taylor & Gelman, 1988; Tomasello, Mannle, & Werdenschlag, 1988; Waxman & Senghas, 1992).”
Functional Elements in Infants' Speech Processing: The Role of Determiners in the Syntactic Categorization of Lexical Elements (2004, background): “Furthermore, children from 2 years on can use contextual cues given by functional elements to syntactically categorize nouns and adjectives (Eyer et al., 2002; Gelman & Markman, 1985; Taylor & Gelman, 1988 ).”
Word learning and the acquisition of syntactic-semantic overhypotheses (2018, unknown): “1Other studies of adjective learning have found that, depending on the saliency of the relevant cue, children may also infer adjectives to denote properties relating to material and pattern (Taylor and Gelman, 1988; Mintz and Gleitman, 2002).”
