Title:	How long was the nineteenth century?
Keywords:	Historical Linguistics Langue Change Language Acquisition Dynamic Systems
Issue Date:	30-May-2013
Publisher:	Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo - PUC-SP
Description:	This paper reviews the problems of the deterministic and predictive view of language change initiated by nineteenth century linguists and shows that such a view is still present in many analyses proposed by twentieth century linguists. As an alternative to such a view, the paper discusses an approach along the lines of Niyogi and Berwick (1997), which takes the explanation for long-term tendencies to be a function of the architecture of UG and the learning procedure and of the way in which populations of speakers behave.
