We study the utility of joint acquisition of simple versions of word order and word meaning in early stages of acquisition in a memory-limited incremental model. Our results confirm previous simulation results from ideal learners suggesting that it is possible to jointly acquire word order and meanings and that learning is improved as each language capability bootstraps the other.
