We need not propose, as Carey does, a radical discontinuity between core cognition, which is responsible for abstract structure, and language and "Quinian bootstrapping," which are responsible for learning and conceptual change. From a probabilistic models view, conceptual structure and learning reflect the same principles, and they are both in place from the beginning.
