Stages of First Language Acquisition Meeting 2

Objective Explain the theories of first language acquisition.

1 . First Language Acquisition

Language Acquisition Th e process by which humans acquire the capacity to perceive and comprehend language, as well as to produce and use words and sentences to communicate 1 Refers to first language (L1) and second language (L2) Not to be confused with language learning Acquisition is an subconscious process that does not presuppose teaching

First Language Acquisition Requirements: A language-using environment Interaction with other language-users Ability to send and receive sound signals in a language

2 . Stages of First Language Acquisition

Possible Meanings of “stage ”: Single behaviors

a point on a continuum . Continuity requirement It either increase or decreases One-word 100% at 1 yo but 70% at 1:6 yo Severely retarded, permanently halted at 1-word utterance Someone’s growth at a certain height is halted Adult languages Increased, plateau, increased Prolonged stage of, let’s say, three-word utterances for several weeks. A sudden increase ending in a plateu Example: - growth spurt - a rapid spurt of child’s vocabulary growth

Possible Meanings of “stage ”: Multiple behaviors: one behavior has succeeded another (succession requirement)

“Black” for black and other colors “Dog” for dogs and other 4-legged animals One-word and two-word utterances co-occur (co-occurence stage) The rapid acquisition of vocabulary and the desire to seek names are both the result of this underlying principle. (Principle of Linguistic Sign) Implication: E:g: m-sound and n-sound Principle: E.g: ‘symbolic stage’ of development One-word and two-word utterances co-occur (co-occurence stage)

Some proposals on stages of acquisition: Stern (1924) Nice (1925) Brown (1973)
