Neuro-Cognitive Computational Model of Automatic Lexical Acquisition

This study is intended to design and implement an automatic lexical acquisition model based on cognitive neuroscience referring to the theory that mental lexicon structure is represented with full-listing and morphemic and that lexical forms accessed to mental lexicon upon word cognition takes a hybrid type. As the result of the study, we could simulate the lexical acquisition process of linguistic input through experiments and studying, and suggest a theoretical foundation for the order of acquitting certain grammatical categories. Also, the model of this study has shown proofs with which we can infer the type of the mental lexicon of the human cerebrum through full-list dictionary and decomposition dictionary which were automatically produced in the study.
