CLA- children language acquisition
why do we talk?
- language defines us as humans
- speak + language distinguishes each other
- sophisticated skill to talk
- children learn language with minimal effort
- learn in a natural process
- Lenon Burg- if a child is not surrounded by language for a specific period of time
- need to be exposed to language
- CLA (Nature-Nurture)
- How we learn to speak is still a mystery
- Deb Roy- scientist (discovered how children speak)
- recorded results from an investigation-Speak home project
- Babbling to single words
- single words
- two words
- complex grammatical stages occur
- way we talk to children, effects on their life ( positive re-enforcement)
- parents simplify their speech
- elongating the pauses between words
- parent convergent
- diverge (excludes child)
- parentese
- listening to ontonation (children, animals)
- at first their phonological awareness out slips their semantic awareness
- as the child's language develops the parents used longer sentences
- by the time a child is 5, they will know 5000 words
- use determiners
- as they grow up they learn 3000 new words
- all of this is pointing towards an innate language ( mechanics to speak)
- Noam Chomsky- god father of linguistics
- sentence, structure, meaning and sounds
- forbidden experiment
- Chomsky's language device- LAD
- born with a blue print for a language
