Role of statistical learning in grammar-like rule acquisition from speech streams
Osamu Watanabe, Miki Hayasaka (Muroran Inst. of Tech.) NC2008-134
Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) When infants are acquiring their mother tongues, they have to segment continuous speech streams at first and then discover grammatical structures that rule out how these words are connected. The phonetic information, such as an intonation, is an important cue for language acquisition, but would not be the only one. Words and syllables are not connected randomly in spoken language, and the statistical information, or the transitional probabilities of words and syllables, could provide cues for word segmentation and grammatical rule extraction. However, Pena et al. (2002) reported that the statistical information does not contribute to acquire grammatical-like rules from continuous speech streams. Here we show the result of Pena et al. can be explained by the framework of statistical learning with a computer simulation and a psychological experiment. The present result suggests that the statistical information is utilized for grammatical rule acquisitions as well as word segmentations.
