The impetus for this volume developed from the 1982 University of
Western Ontario Learnability Workshop, which was organized by the
editors and sponsored by that University's Department of Philosophy
and the Centre for Cognitive Science. The volume e~plores the
import of learnability theory for contemporary linguistic theory,
focusing on foundational learning-theoretic issues associated with
the parametrized Government-Binding (G-B) framework. Written by
prominent re searchers in the field, all but two of the eight
contributions are pre viously unpublished. The editor's
introduction provides an overview that interrelates the separate
papers and elucidates the foundational issues addressed by the
volume. Osherson, Stob, and Weinstein's "Learning Theory and
Natural Language" first appeared in Cognition (1984); Matthews's
"The Plausi bility of Rationalism" was published in the Journal
of Philosophy (1984). The editors would like to thank the
publishers for permission to reprint these papers. Mr. Marin
Marinov assisted with the preparation of the indices for the
volume. VB ROBERT 1. MATTHEWS INTRODUCTION: LEARNABILITY AND
LINGUISTIC THEORY 1. INTRODUCTION Formal learning theory, as the
name suggests, studies the learnability of different classes of
formal objects (languages, grammars, theories, etc.) under
different formal models of learning. The specification of such a
model, which specifies (a) a learning environment, (b) a learnÂ
ing strategy, and (c) a criterion for successful learning,
determines (d) a class of formal objects, namely, the class that
can be acquired to the level of the specified success criterion by
a learner implementing the specified strategy in the specified
enviroment.
