Learning without Coding

Abstract. Iterative learning is a model of language learning from positive data, due to Wiehagen. When compared to a learner in Gold's original model of language learning from positive data, an iterative learner can be thought of as memory-limited. However, an iterative learner can memorize some input elements by coding them into the syntax of its hypotheses. A main concern of this paper is: to what extent are such coding tricks necessary? One means of preventing some such coding tricks is to require that
