The Acquisition of the English Past Tense in Children and Multilayered Connectionist Networks.
Marcus, Gary F.
Cognition, v56 n3 p271-79 Sep 1995
Critiques models of children's acquisition of the English past tense. Discusses the sequence of language development in a child and as predicted by a model, the purported U-shaped sequence of the development of children's past-tense usage, and children's overregularization and irregularization errors in past-tense usage.
