Abstract:

Language Acquisition and Learnability is an accessible introduction to
learnability theory and its interactions with linguistic
theories. Working within the Principles and Parameters framework, the
book surveys general concepts from formal learning theory and
complexity theory, together with important findings from developmental
psycholinguistics, historical linguistics and language
processing. Written by a team of leading researchers it examines
important techniques that can be used to obtain interesting and
empirically testable predictions from parametric theories of language
variation and includes chapters on syntax, diachronic syntax and the
relationship between linguistic complexity and the form of
parameters. Fully integrated, and complete with a large number of
exercises to test readers on their understanding of the material, this
book will become essential reading for students and researchers in
linguistic theory.

"...the book is very welcome. It remarks connections between very
different fields of research and should be carefully considered by
scholars working in fields such as theoretical linguistics, historical
and comparative linguistics, psycholinguistics, learnability theory or
computational and statistical approaches to language acquisition,
among others."  Canadian Journal of Linguistics
