Authors: Koenig M, Woodward AL Abstract ABSTRACTThe current study examined monolingual English-speaking toddlers' (N=50) ability to learn word-referent links from native speakers of Dutch versus English, and second, whether children generalized or sequestered their extensions when terms were tested by a subsequent speaker of English.

Authors: Sethuraman N, Smith LB Abstract ABSTRACTEnglish-learning children have been shown to reliably use cues from argument structure in learning verbs.

Romney the man running on the platform that he is supposedly smarter than you or I with money, spent 18 million last month and raised only 6 million!
In other-words Romney spent three times as much in as he took in. Yet he is not worried! His billionaire buddies spent another 6 million on his behalf last month. That means that a few people all worth no less than a million dollars, and most worth more than a 100 million dollars will air as many Romney ads as all the rest of his donor combined. Free speech is still legal, but paid for speech is dominated by the super-rich, partially due to the campaign rule changes the same super-rich engineered over the last decade. Now 1000 people can donate $100 each for a total of $100,000 and then buy a few ads with that money. At the same time one super wealthy person (in some cases living off of the interest paid to them by the same 1000 people in this example) could simply start a super-pac, give the super-pac 5 million dollars, and run 50 times the ads that the same 1000 people were able to manage. The language used in these messages is often hostile and generally not focusing on making positive changes for the working class.
We propose that everyone does not watch these advertisements and instead talks to friends, neighbors, follow social media, find quality blogs and newspapers, and make up your own minds.

In an election result that should surprise nobody Latvia voted this week, 75% to 25% to keep Latvian as their official language. Proponents of the measure hopes to draw attention to the Russian minority in Latvia which they feel is sometimes prejudiced against.
Russian was forced on many of the states within the USSR and now that they are independent, most have switched to their original languages.
