- Research to date suggests that infants exploit statistical regularities in linguistic input to identify and learn a range of linguistic structures, ranging from the sounds of language (e.g., native-language speech sounds, word boundaries in continuous speech) to aspects of grammatical structure (e.g., lexical categories like nouns and verbs, basic aspects of syntax).
