Language Acquisition

Introduction

Studies on languages acquisition has ,evolved over the past 25 years. This development shared the variables of language; so that their , advances have been directly associated to the linguistic models of one way or another were predominant in the minds of researchers. This is not extra not because psycholinguistics is intended to study the process of emergence and de- development of language which impy having a model (which can only provide linguistics) what appears and what develops. The following paper will support the argument about the statement, “There are several types of evidence that language acquisition is guided by an innate capacity for language.” The essay will be developed in the favour of the argument with authentic and relevant linguistic examples. (Bresnan.1978)

Discussions Language acquisition is a process, by which the person during his childhood gets the teaching or verbal experiences, those are derived from their environment and during the development is acquired and processed in the future employment of this language (Lucia). It is the acquisition of skills of expression and understanding of the environment. (Andrea vine). Thus the development of argue in the favor of the statement will begin from here. The language has the basic part that has been achieved naturally at the childhood.,

The Twso Faces of Languagse

These two different sides of the language are the language, and speech.

Saussure's book is "The Course in General Linguistics" that were nothing more than the nottes of two of his students afte death, decided to publish them.

So we can say that language and speech are two different but inseparable realities that are linked by the interaction that involves an individual and use the system. In fact one can say that the interaction is the main foundation of human development.

When it comes to acquisition or development of language we take as synonyms but the truth is that each of the terms has a twist. And acquisition means to acquire an instrument while development refers to the use of a skill. When the study of language acquisition focused on the subject was considered to have already acquired the language at 6-7 years but now that child has acquired a large extent the system will still develop practically all his life.

Although the study of child language has been done by many specialists from different disciplines, it is true that linguistics is based more ...
