    <big>Dear List,<br>
      <br>
      Sorry to have sent this to the whole list by mistake, but actually
      I'd love to hear from anybody who knows of studies that can be
      said to test the hypothesis that children learn syntax by
      "pragmatic bootstrapping".  <br>
      <br>
      Thanks,<br>
