Florian; Newport, Elissa L.; Fedzechkina, Maryia (1983 - ). - : University of Rochester, 2014 Abstract: Thesis (Ph. D.)--University of Rochester. Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, 2014. ; Languages around the world share a number of commonalities often referred to as language universals. The nature of these universals has been a matter of debate in linguistics and cognitive science. Some researchers have suggested that these commonalities arise from learning biases that are exclusive to language acquisition (Chomsky, 1965; Fodor, 2001; Pinker, 1984). Others have argued that constraints on other cognitive systems as well as pressures associated with language use and communication can shape language structures over time (Bever, 1970; Givón, 1991; Hawkins, 2004). This dissertation examines the hypothesis that the cross-linguistic distribution of grammars can be accounted for, at least in part, in terms of their communicative utility. In a series of miniature artificial language learning experiments, I investigate the hypothesis that communicative pressures (specifically, a trade-off between effort and robust information transfer) operate already during language acquisition, biasing learners towards more efficient linguistic systems. The findings support this hypothesis: when presented with relatively inefficient input languages, learners deviate subtly but systematically from the input, restructuring the languages to make them more suitable for efficient information transfer. Learning outcomes in these experiments closely mirror typological synchronic and diachronic phenomena such as patterns in cue trade-offs in morpho-syntax (Chapters 2 and 3) as well as properties of differential and optional case-marking systems (Chapter 4), thereby suggesting that some language structures are shaped by learners’ biases for efficient information transfer.
