Abstract: 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 constraints are far less severe than those imposed by the LAD. As can be seen in the initial stages of the simulation, very un-language like systems can be acquired by this learner. The constraints on variation are not built into the learner, but are instead emergent properties of the social... (Update)
