Gregory's Server@helles_sachsen @Gargron Statistics probably is the overwhelming method of language learning for infants, but as you age, it certainly becomes more complex. I’m of the opinion that statistics is needed for the fast path, but that the slow path uses other methods.

 @helles_sachsen @Gargron But you reason with others about the language, like you’re doing now. Metalinguistic discussions are always present in a society, and helps your language competence and helps standardise the language. And I don’t know what “knowing English grammar” would mean if you don’t think you know it, unless we become very prescriptive. |
@ahltorp @Gargron I still don't know English grammar as you can see, but you understand me fine I think, I learned it statistically and this was enough for b2. :>
