    The "soul" of language does not use statistics: Reflections on vowels and consonants
    (ELSEVIER MASSON, CORP OFF, 2006) Mehler, Jacques; Pena, Marcela; Nespor, Marina; Bonatti, Luca
    This paper reviews studies of language processing with the aim of establishing whether any type of statistical information embedded in linguistic signals can be exploited by the language learner. The constraints as to the information that can be so used, we will argue, should be used to inform theories of language acquisition.
