It gets a lot of data, but doesn't tell us much. The particular topic that seems to in=erest him — what's called "motherese" in t=e literature (the way parents talk to children) — has been studied=pretty carefully, notably by Lila Gleitman, the best psycholinguist in the modern period, I =hink (and an old friend). There doesn't seem to be much to i=. And it's known that children develop language normally und=r all sorts of circumstances, including conditions very much unlike the ultra-nurturing ones that Roy is investigation. E.g., wit= no input, as in the cases I mentioned. And the results about words can =99t be right. At peak periods of language growth, children are picki=g them up at rate of about one per waking hour.
