claim is that such morphological processes can be learnt without
symbolization and innate knowledge. See Rumelhart and McClelland
(1986) for the original model of past tense acquisition, Plunkett
and Marchman (1993), Nakisa, Plunkett and Hahn (1996) and Elman et
al. (1996) for developments and extensions to other morphological
processes, and Marcus et al. (1992) and Pinker and Prince (1988)
for criticism. One line of investigation supporting the view of
language as a genetic endowment is closely linked to traditional
research on language acquisition and argues as follows: If language
is innate there must be phenomena that should be accessible from
birth in one form or the other. Thus it is clear that the language
of children, especially young children and preferably babies should
be investigated. As babies unfortunately don't talk, the abilities
that are available from birth must be established in ways different
from the usual linguistic analysis. Psycholinguistic research of
the last few years has shown that at the age of 4 and 8 months and
even during their first week of life children already have
important language skills. From the fourth day, infants distinguish
their mother tongue from other languages. From the first months
children prefer the sound of speech to 'other noise'. At the age of
4 months, infants prefer pauses at syntactic boundaries to random
pauses.
