Evolutionary Perspectives on Diachronic Syntax - Briscoe (Correct)
.... change compared to biological evolution and the size of the relevant population during the period of adaptation are unlikely to have been critical factors (pace, Deacon, 1997:328f) and the (remote) possibility that the language faculty arose de novo via a single macromutation or exaption (e.g. Berwick, 1998; Bickerton, 1998) is rendered irrelevant by the observation that organs which arise via exaptions of spandrels or by macromutations are still susceptible to subsequent modification by natural selection (e.g. Ridley, 1990; Lieberman, 1991, Kirby, 1998) Indeed in my simulations, language agents do ....

Grammatical Acquisition and Linguistic Selection - Briscoe (1999) (1 citation) (Correct)
....Lightfoot, 1992) Thus, the LAD incorporates both a set constraints defining a possible human grammar and a set of biases (partially) ranking possible grammars by markedness. A variety of explanations have been offered for the emergence of an innate LAD with such properties based on saltation (Berwick, 1998; Bickerton, 1990, 1998) or genetic assimilation (Pinker and Bloom, 1990; Kirby, 1998) Formal models of parameter setting (e.g. Clark, 1992; Gibson and Wexler, 1994; Niyogi and Berwick, 1996; Brent, 1996) have demonstrated that development of a psychologically plausible and effective parameter ....
