| Popis: | Davidson, like Chomsky, looks to certain features of natural languages to decipher what makes them learnable. Quine, on the other hand, suggests that the constraints on learnability come more from learning theory than from the structure of our languages. My aims are to show that Davidson's requirements on learnability are too strong and that he has not shown that his theory of meaning explains the learnability of language. A more broadly empiricist approach to both language learning and to language seems more congenial. |
