Abstract

I would like to begin by clarifying some technical points regarding learnability and Gold's theorem and will work my way around to advocating the power of distributed connectionist networks. I may wind up repeating much of what MacWhinney has already said, but I hope to do so in a manner that clarifies the status of and relationship between his seven solutions to the language acquisition problem.
