Analogical inference from distributional structure: What recurrent neural networks can tell us about word learning

One proposal that can explain the remarkable pace of word learning in young children is that they leverage the language-internal distributional similarity of familiar and novel words to make analogical inferences about possible meanings of novel words (Lany and Gómez, 2008; Lany and Saffran, 2011; S...
