Abstract

The aim of this paper is to try to understand the process of children's language acquisition by using the theory of inference of formal grammars. Toward this goal, we introduce an extension of Marcus External Contextual grammars which constitutes a Mildly Context-Sensitive language family, and study their learnability in the limit from positive data. Finally, we briefly indicate our future research direction.
