“…Omaki & Lidz, 2015). To illustrate, the child processor favours reliable and/or available cues with a one-to-one mapping relation between form and function (Bates & MacWhinney, 1989;Cameron-Faulkner et al, 2003;Shin, 2021Shin, , 2022bShin & Mun, 2023). Given the global impact of general language-usage experience (Ambridge et al, 2015;Tomasello, 2003), the processor is particularly sensitive to particular linguistic environments in which a target item is situated (Dąbrowska, 2008;Dittmar et al, 2014;Goldberg et al, 2004).…”

“…Given the global impact of general language-usage experience (Ambridge et al, 2015;Tomasello, 2003), the processor is particularly sensitive to particular linguistic environments in which a target item is situated (Dąbrowska, 2008;Dittmar et al, 2014;Goldberg et al, 2004). The degree to which the current stimulus is informative against the prior language-usage experience also modulates its performance (Dittmar et al, 2008;Shin, 2021Shin, , 2022bShin & Deen, 2023;Stromswold et al, 1985). Furthermore, the contribution of domaingeneral factors to the processor's operation is sometimes limited or less efficient (Adams & Gathercole, 2000;Diamond, 1985).…”

This study investigates how neural networks address the properties of children's linguistic knowledge, with a focus on the Agent‐First strategy in comprehension of an active transitive construction in Korean. We develop various neural‐network models and measure their classification performance on the test stimuli used in a behavioural experiment involving scrambling and omission of sentential components at varying degrees. Results show that, despite some compatibility of these models’ performance with the children's response patterns, their performance does not fully approximate the children's utilisation of this strategy, demonstrating by‐model and by‐condition asymmetries. This study's findings suggest that neural networks can utilise information about formal co‐occurrences to access the intended message to a certain degree, but the outcome of this process may be substantially different from how a child (as a developing processor) engages in comprehension. This implies some limits of neural networks on revealing the developmental trajectories of child language.Research Highlights This study investigates how neural networks address properties of child language. We focus on the Agent‐First strategy in comprehension of Korean active transitive. Results show by‐model/condition asymmetries against children's response patterns. This implies some limits of neural networks on revealing properties of child language.

“…Fall + High Rise at the end of the utterance as seen in Figure 9. From the observation in general, it is found that there are some aspects in the child language, i.e., syllable deletion, nasal and stimulate 32 the experience of using language 33 especially for building vocabulary knowledge 34 which is needed in increasing children's linguistic knowledge, 35 including phonology.…”

In the acquisition of language, there could be gradual construction and systematic development of the children's linguistic skills. In their communication, the children speak the words, but their sounds may not be as complete as the adults. This difference between the child and adult language has attracted the attention of scholars in language acquisition to examine if there are specific structures of the child language. This research focuses on the structures of the child's speech sound to see what aspects could explain the difference between child and adult language. The data were the speech of 37 children (Male = 20; Female = 17) with the age range of 1;2 (one year two months) to 5;2 (five years two months). The data was transcribed, and its phonological aspects were classified. PRAAT software (version 6.2.02) was used to study the phonetic properties that support the explanation of the phonological aspects, especially for intensity, duration, and pitch. The study revealed some important aspects of the child language, i.e., syllable deletion, nasal assimilation, velar fronting, lateral substitution, vowel lowering and raising, and pitch harmony. This study may shed new light on the research of speech sound structure for promoting children's literacy programs in Indonesia.
