Cím:	The Animal Farm : a Picture Set for the Study of Lexical and Grammatical Learning / Polonyi Tünde Éva
Dátum:	2012
Megjegyzések:	This paper describes a new picture set created for the study of lexical and grammatical aspects of language learning. The set consists of digitized cartoon drawings of 20 animals performing 10 different picturable actions in dyadic pairs. The animals and actions can be combined freely to create a large number of different scenes corresponding to independent clauses of the type "The dog hugs the lion". In the present experiment, twenty Finnish-speaking university undergraduates learned novel names for these animals and their actions, as well as two morphosyntactic rules (object marking vs. grammatical gender marking) embedded in the new language. Unsupervised learning was accomplished by viewing scenes with accompanying sentences like "Garomi poh+a tunuke+r". Both lexicon and grammar were learned simultaneously, thus aiming at a more natural language learning process. Passive vocabulary developed fast but early on language learners had difficulties in producing the new words and the rules. Overall, syntactical learning was more difficult than lexical learning. An additional metalinguistic task showed that more participants became aware of the native-like morphosyntactic rule than the gender-marking rule. This study attests to the efficacy of the language learning system in adults: limited exposure to novel items is sufficient for lexical learning and acquisition of some embedded regularities, while explicit metalinguistic knowledge of the regularities develops not until later. More generally, our research demonstrated that the Animal Farm can be used to study basic aspects of lexical and grammatical learning in a wide variety of setups.
