## Papers

1. **[A Language-agnostic Model of Child Language Acquisition](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/langstream-2024-mahon-language-agnostic-model-child-language/)** *(2024)* The authors port Abend et al.'s semantic-bootstrapping learner from English to Hebrew. The learner sees one child-directed utterance at a time, paired with a logical form, and learns a CCG lexicon with EM over Dirichlet-process counts. The Hebrew data are from the CHILDES Hagar corpus (3,295 utterances), converted…
2. **[Cross-linguistically Consistent Semantic and Syntactic Annotation of Child-directed Speech](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/langstream-2021-szubert-cross-linguistically-consistent-semantic-syntactic/)** *(2021)* The paper proposes a two-step method for annotating child-directed speech (CDS) in CHILDES.

Second, sentential logical forms (LFs) are produced from the UD trees by unlexicalised…
