Language Acquisition Hypotheses: A Reply to Goodluck & Solan.

Erreich, Anne; And Others

Cognition, v7 n3 p317-21 Sep 1979

Goodluck and Solan (EJ 205 641) presented alternative formulations about why errors predicted by basic operations fail to occur and suggested a refined hypothesis. Each aspect of their argument is addressed, and it is concluded that descriptive power, methodology and principles for restricting error predictions favor our original analysis. (RD)
