William Snyder in the Learning Seminar

William Snyder will guest lecture today (November 8) in Rajesh Bhatt and Tom Roeper's seminar on learnability, which meets in Herter 106, 2:30-5:15 pm. William will talk about 'Linguistic Conservatism', an idea that he develops in his new book Child Language: The Parametric Approach (OUP). The central observation is that the errors that children make in spontaneous speech are overwhelmingly error of omission, not errors of commission.
