The current paper emphasizes three research directions among the recent advances in cognitive science. These directions offer alternate proposals to the generative linguistics theory of language development. First, the "item-based" theories of language development, which stress that development of language knowledge goes from specific to general and are part of the cognitive linguistics theories.
