Location: Cognitive Development Center, Hattyú u. 14, 3rd floor
*Category Learning and Speech Interpretation in Early Language Development
*
Abstract: It is usually assumed that the development of speech perception
works like this: first, infants use distributional clustering to learn the
consonants and vowels of their language; then, young children use these
sounds to recognize and distinguish words. On this account, distributional
learning in infancy solves the problem of phonological interpretation in
learning words. I will argue on the contrary that infants may use words to
learn speech sounds, and that this learning does not itself cause mature
phonological interpretation. This proposal suggests new ways to consider
the interrelation of word learning and phonological learning in infancy.
