Aren't computers already capable of learning language the way children do? Granted none of them have been very successful using that method...

I was going to say, "no, there aren't any computers that learn language
the way children do," but when I went looking for confirmation of my opinion, I found
this article from New Scientist. The main difference is that children learn language by hearing it used, but the computer software described in the NS article learns from text input.
