The Learning of the Past Tense of Danish Verbs: Language Learning in Neural Networks.
Jensen, Knud Anker; Ulbaek, Ib
Applied Linguistics, v15 n1 p15-35 Mar 1994
Research results suggest that neural networks are able to generalize the past tense form from the base form and that phonological form plays a significant role in generalizing. This conclusion questions the scope and validity of learning models currently promoted in both first- and second-language learning theories. (Contains 29 references.) (Author/LB)
