00100 Eve V. Clark
00200 Proc Conf on Developmental Psycholinguistics, Buffalo, 1971
00300 Comparison of models for development:
00400 grammatical-McNeill
00500 generalization-Anglin
00600 universal primitives-Postal,Bierwitch
00700 semantic feature-Clark
00800 essence of the current model is that it says that the method
00900 of language acquisition is to acquire some of the features
01000 of a word. He will make mistakes because he is unable to
01100 make distinctions based on other features which are not in
01200 his semantic model for that word, so that a most common error
01300 will be over-extension, ie over-generalization.
01400 The criteria for over-extensions are movement, shape, size, and
01500 sound. Color is not a criterion for over-generalization.
01600
01700 Initially, less and more were not distinguished.
01800 Typical initial confusion between marked and unmarked forms (short,tall).
01900 Big,small was a dominant comparison, and included long,high,tall,wide.
