在本文中，我们借鉴了认知科学的几个领域的最新发展，表明词汇是在几个不同层次的代表性的语法概括的核心。证据来自许多方面，包括最近关于成人语言处理和儿童语言习得的研究。语音行为的影响非常早期的模式频率的词汇的环境语言，我们建议，语音习得可能会提供初步的引导到语法概括。然而，计算模式频率的语音类别既不是透明的视听信号，也不是由物种的生理和感知能力确定的。因此，我们需要几个与年龄相适应的模型来研究词汇如何影响儿童在语音习得过程中与周围语言的互动。
In this paper, we draw on recent developments in several areas of cognitive science that suggest that the lexicon is at the core of grammatical generalizations at several different levels of representation. Evidence comes from many sources, including recent studies on language processing in adults and on language acquisition in children. Phonological behavior is influenced very early by pattern frequency in the lexicon of the ambient language, and we propose that phonological acquisition might provide the initial bootstrapping into grammatical generalization in general. The phonological categories over which pattern frequencies are calculated, however, are neither transparently available in the audiovisual signal nor deterministically fixed by the physiological and perceptual capacities of the species. Therefore, we need several age-appropriate models of how the lexicon can influence a child's interactions with the ambient language over the course of phonological acquisition.
