"Biases affecting how often and when different learning strategies are employed or withheld can radically change what can be learned and how easy or difficult it is to learn it" - he presumably means biolological rather than intentional learning

"I have argued that the underlying source of each of the apparent paradoxes of language learning is a misleading assumption that learning is a one-dimensional process, in which a collection of individual memories is built up bit by bit, like adding items to a list, and in which general rules can only be derived by inductive generalizations.." - explains my struggle with Hungarian, but not multi-dimension learning

"Creolization occurs when are exposed to a pidgin as their first and only language and so reflects the ways that these young minds reinterpret a partial symbolic system as though it were complete" - given that language evolves, in what sense is it complete?
