....language acquirer. In fact, Universal Grammar (UG) and the LAD are often treated as synonymous within this tradition. It is not generally considered that the dynamics of language acquisition and use impose further constraints within the boundaries imposed by the structure of the LAD (although see (Niyogi Berwick 1995; Clark 1996) for interesting exceptions) Figure 11 contrasts this view with that proposed in this paper. The language learning device clearly does impose constraints directly in a similar fashion there are certain types of language that the learner simply cannot acquire however these ....

....Figure 6: The S shaped curve. The striking feature of this result is its similarity to the S shaped curve that Kroch (1989a, 1989b) finds in his data for the rise of periphrastic do in English a case of the replacement by competition of one variant by another. This result is also found by Niyogi Berwick (1995) in their analysis of the dynamics of parameterised grammatical change, although in their case, the complexity of parsing is not considered. Research is currently underway to analyse more carefully the dynamic properties of parametrically specified grammars under the influence of parsing pressures ....
