- Hatch proposed viewing different theories of language acquisition as transparent overlays to look for patterns and consistency across theories. This treats each theory like an overhead transparency laid over the others.
- Artificial intelligence research aims to solve the problem of irregularities and disagreements across the different components and theories of language.
- By taking an integrated approach that combines elements of various theories, AI may be able to identify commonalities and eventually develop a more comprehensive model of language that accounts for its complexities.
- However, language is extremely complex and our understanding remains limited, so it remains uncertain whether AI
