Semantikerwerb

The volume outlines a consistent empirical theory of semantic acquisition by combining interdisciplinary aspects of the meaning concept with findings derived from the theory of learnability and confronting these with the insights into meaning acquisition already furnished in the literature on the subject. The proposals elaborated suggests possible solutions for evading the aporias bedeviling nativist or constraint-based models developed as a response to the formulation of the induction problem in semantic acquisition.
