Primes

• Bootstrapping
  • Language and cognitive development: children inferring grammar from limited utterances, syntactic and statistical bootstrapping in word and speech-segment learning, and the self-teaching hypothesis in reading.

Domain-specific

• Linguistic Bootstrapping
  • In syntactic bootstrapping, the direction reverses: already learned sentence frames and argument structures constrain the likely meaning of a novel word, especially a verb.

    This sourceFoundational account of syntactic structure as evidence for verb meaning.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
