Essay-like tag
editSeveral turns of phrase in the article are essay-like in nature, for example: "The following sources are used to solve this indeterminacy problem.", "As stated previously," and so forth. This should be written in an encyclopedic manner. See WP:TONE Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:46, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

- Speedy fail, per lack of categories, not enough wikilinks, and essay-like tag. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:12, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
Plans to edit the article
editI would like to improve the lead section, adding information on possible origins of the constraints. I would also like to add a couple more sections relevant to the constraints. I want to include a section discussing the domain specificity of the different constraints, as well as a section on arguments against the constraints in word learning. I also believe a section on overextension and underextension of the constraints seems relevant and should be included on the page. A few sources I have compiled are listed below, with more to be added upon further research. The following sources are not already referenced in the article.
Golinkoff, R. M., Mervis, C. B., & Hirsh-Pasek, K. (1994). Early object labels: the case for a developmental lexical principles framework. Journal of Child Language, 21, 125–155.
Markman, E. M. (1990). Constraints children place on word meanings. Cognitive Science, 14, 154–173.
Markman, E. M. (1992). Constraints on word learning: speculations about their nature, origins and domain specificity. Modularity and constraints in language and cognition: the Minnesota Symposium on Child Psychology, 59–101.
Minor changes include changing the formatting and linking other articles to it since it is an orphan page.

I think the page needs information on criticisms of each of the assumptions to make a more well-rounded conceptualization. Without criticisms, the page might act as more of an argument as being something definite and accepted by all rather than concepts still being experimented upon. I edited the page on Shelby Brown's Sandbox since we are working on the same page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MarieKalas (talk • contribs) 18:58, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
