ReplyDeleteThis is a very interesting fact that you mention...People asked how is it that children are able to develop verbal ability at just age 5 or less more than any other cognitive ability(heck common sense is highly overrated in some cases!!!)?
ReplyDeleteThe recent move towards grammar theory in natural language processing is also tending to favor cognitive theories like categorial grammars...
Most problems in NLP are facing the same problems like in AI, dealing with hard problems...
But the stuff that this grammar can already do is amazing...
