This paper considers the AGL literature from a psycholinguistic perspective. It first presents a taxonomy of the experimental familiarization test procedures used, which is followed by a consideration of shortcomings and potential improvements of the empirical methodology. It then turns to reconsidering the issue of grammar learning from the point of view of acquiring constraints, instead of the traditional AGL approach in terms of acquiring sets of rewrite rules. This is, in particular, a natural way of handling long-distance dependences. The final section addresses an underdeveloped issue in the AGL literature, namely how to detect latent hierarchical structure in AGL response patterns.
本文从心理语言学的角度来研究 AGL 文献。首先呈现了实验熟悉测试程序的分类法，然后考虑了实证方法的缺点和潜在的改进。接着从获取约束的角度重新考虑语法学习的问题，而不是采用传统的 AGL 方法来获取重写规则集。这是处理远距离依赖的一种自然方式。最后一节讨论了 AGL 文献中一个未充分发展的问题，即如何检测 AGL 反应模式中的潜在层次结构。
