The emergence of linguistic patterns during the process of conversation and listening. In fact, it is a phenomenon that occurs during a wide range of developmental change. According to one attempt at explanation. new forms of expression as a process of computational manipulations of symbols produce universal and orderly stage-like patterns of change in language development. Computational models thus became to be seen as move away from artificial neural networks, but ones that can still address emergentist modeling of of language development. In direct competition are are attempts to account for the dynamically flexible and transient aspects that characterize the emergence of language abilities of, for example, conversation. Thus, this endeavor has involved applying principles of dynamical systems theory and the principle of self-organization to this process. Accordingly, language development does not involve the acquisition of abstract rules, but rather the on-line emergence of language abilities in real time.
