Aleksei Nazarov & Gaja Jarosz. 2021. The Credit Problem in Parametric Stress: A Statistical Approach. Glossa 6(1). 1-26. https://doi.org/10.16995/glossa.5884 In this paper, we introduce a novel domain-general, statistical learning model for P&P grammars: the Expectation Driven Parameter Learner (EDPL). We show that the EDPL provides a mathematically principled solution to the Credit Problem (Dresher 1999).… Continue reading →
