Dados de percepção/compreensão e de produção na aquisição: representações gramaticais distintas?

The unbalance between infants’ production and perception/ comprehension data is discussed. The demands production and comprehension processes pose are to be considered. The notion of feature, assumed in the generative framework (CHOMSKY, 1995; 1998; 1999), collaborates to an association between a model of language and processing models and for the understanding of language acquisition from the point of view of processing (CORRÊA, 2002; 2006). Thus, it is argued that two different abilities are to be distinguished in acquisition: the identification of functional items and the complete association of phonological, syntactic and semantic features to these elements. Key words: acquisition; production; comprehension; features; DP.

Representações dinâmicas e distribuídas: indícios do português brasileiro adulto e infantil

This paper argues for dynamic distributed representations of phonological units and categories on the basis of analyses of the following sets of Brazilian Portuguese data: phonotactic biases in the adult lexicon, phonotactic biases in a child acquiring the liquid class, and covert phonological distinctions in a group of children diagnosed as phonologically impaired. Together, the three data sets support the emergence of abstract phonological categories from lexical phone frequencies as a result of the interaction between articulatory dynamics and phonotactics. The fact that most phonological information is neither punctual nor local has important implications for language acquisition, a number of which are discussed throughout the paper. Palavras-chave: léxico, dinâmica, fonologia, aquisição, fonotaxe.

Aquisição dos ditongos orais decrescentes: contribuições da teoria da otimidade conexionista

The acquisition of falling oral diphthongs in Brazilian Portuguese was discussed in Bonilha (2000) on the basis of data on 86 cross-sectional subjects in light of standard Optimality Theory (OT) – generativist/connectionist. The results show that the acquisition of diphthongs formed by low vowels precedes that of diphthongs formed by mid-high and high vowels. Benayon (2006), using multi-representational models, challenges this analysis by taking issue with the OT approach. The argument is based on the fact that type and token frequencies play a role in the phonological development process. The present paper, based on the longitudinal data on a subject aged 1:0 and 4:0, proposes a reanalysis of the acquisition of the falling oral diphthongs in Brazilian Portuguese on the basis of connectionist Optimality Theory. It aims at demonstrating the suitability of this theoretical model for a data analysis that takes the role of type and token frequency into account. Palavras-chave: aquisição; Teoria da Otimidade Conexionista; ditongos orais decrescentes.
