This paragraph discusses the similarities and differences
in the languages of children on the one hand and computers on the other. The basic idea
of the paragraph is that children as young as six years old have language skills that
are in some ways more advanced than those of the most advanced
computers.
This paragraph is telling us that both children
and computers must be taught langauge. Children learn spoken language easily but have
difficulty with written language. For computers, things are just the opposite.
Computers have the ability to learn written language easily (according to this passage)
but do not do well at all with written language..
Overall,
then, the paragraph is comparing and contrasting language learning in computers and
children.
