Abstract:
Data of Hebrew speaking children and adults on an auditory statistical learning experiment looking at the effect of distribution predictability on segmentation. ... : While the languages of the world differ in many respects, they share certain commonalties, which can provide insight on our shared cognition. Here, we explore the learnability consequences of one of the striking commonalities between languages. Across languages, word frequencies follow a Zipfian distribution, showing a power law relation between a word's frequency and its rank. While their source in language has been studied extensively, less work has explored the learnability consequences of such distributions for language learners. We propose that the greater predictability of words in this distribution (relative to less skewed distributions) can facilitate word segmentation, a crucial aspect of early language acquisition. To explore this, we quantify word predictability using unigram entropy, assess it across languages using naturalistic corpora of child-directed speech and then ask whether similar unigram predictability facilitates word segmentation in the lab. We find similar unigram entropy in ...
