Theories of the generative framework have excluded various aspects of language use in pursuit of more fundamental generalizations, by separating competence from performance. Facts about language have been explained in terms of abstract, domain-specific knowledge structures, which are mostly unrelated to the child's experience. There emerged, however, an approach, statistical learning, that emphasizes the continuity between acquisition and processing. This new idea, which is based on the mechanism of connectionism, attempts to explain the child's task as learning to use language, not grammar identification. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the boundary between grammar and statistics and show how statistics can serve as an alternative to the research on language, by providing cross-linguistic evidence on the production choice between the locative and the meronymic relation
