Papers suspended for too much overlap with papers already discussed,
                 continous lack of interest or some other reason:

they give enough of an introduction to RAAM)

[proposed by Risto Miikkulainen, Dec. 20, 1993]
A discussion of the critical period for language learning (whether it is
for real or not):
@InCollection{mclaughlin:adulthood,
  author =      "Barry McLaughlin",
  title =       "Language Learning in Childhood and Adulthood",
  booktitle =   "Second Language Acquisition in Childhood, {V}olume 1:
                 {P}reschool Children",
  publisher =   LEA,
  year =        "1984",
  edition =     "Second",
  chapter =     "3",
  address =     LEA-ADDR
}

[proposed by Risto Miikkulainen, Dec. 20, 1993]
@Article{savagerumbaugh:linguistically,
  author =      "E. Sue Savage-Rumbaugh and Duane M. Rumbaugh and Sally
                 Boysen",
  title =       "Linguistically Mediated Tool Use: {A}n Exchange by
                 Chimpanzees",
  journal =     BBS,
  year =        "1978",
  volume =      "4",
  pages =       "539--554"
}

[proposed by Risto Miikkulainen, Dec. 20, 1993]
{publication reference added on Feb. 9, 1994:}
And here is a long and a short paper on symbol grounding with neural
nets (i.e. learning language with visual references):
@TechReport{nenov:grounded,
  author =      "Valeriy I. Nenov and Michael G. Dyer",
  title =       "Perceptually Grounded Language Acquisition: {A}
                 Neural/Procedural Model",
  institution = UCLACS,
  year =        "1992",
  number =      "UCLA-AI-92-03",
  length =      48 pages
}

[proposed by Risto Miikkulainen, Dec. 20, 1993]
This is probably too short to get the idea:
@InProceedings{nenov:dete,
  author =      "Michael G. Dyer and Valeriy I. Nenov",
  title =       "Learning Language via Perceptual/Motor Experiences",
  booktitle =   COGSCI-93,
  year =        "1993",
  publisher =   LEA,
  address =     LEA-ADDR,
  pages =       "400-405"
}
