This chapter contains the authors' reactions to the previous chapters and stresses the similarities and differences between these theoretical views. It discusses that part of the debate concerns whether the first words are more like the indexical signs of most nonhumans or like the symbols of the human 4-year-old. It argues that although there are marked contrasts between the views, the work of all the authors focuses on a central issue: an understanding of how infants break the language barrier by learning words.
