    Study Notes

    First Language Acquisition (FLA)

    • FLA is the natural process of acquiring one's first language, without formal instruction.
    • It follows a predictable developmental path.
    • Understanding FLA helps in understanding human language acquisition and second language learning.

    Stages of FLA

    • Early Weeks of Life:
    • Infants communicate primarily through crying and signaling needs.
    • Infants recognize their mother's voice and differentiate phonemes.
    • Cooing and gurgling emerge, marking early vocal play.
    • First Year:
    • Babbling stage: Infants produce sounds like "ba-ba" and "da-da."
    • Loss of phonetic sensitivity: Infants lose the ability to perceive sounds not used in their native language.
    • Production of first recognizable words.
    • Age of Two:
    • Vocabulary explosion: Rapid increase in the number of words.
    • Two-word phrases are produced.
    • Age of Three:
    • Increased sentence length and complexity.
    • Increased use of question words.
    • Improved pronunciation.
    • Pre-School Years (Ages 4-5):
    • Mastery of basic sentence structures.
    • Use of complex questions.
    • Storytelling and narrative development.
    • Improved social communication skills.
    • School Years (Ages 6 and Beyond):
    • Extensive vocabulary expansion.
    • Understanding of different language registers (formal, informal).
    • Development of the ability to comprehend metaphors and abstract concepts.

    Theories of First Language Acquisition

    • Behaviorism (B.F. Skinner):
    • Children learn through imitation, reinforcement, and conditioning.
    • Does not explain the creation of novel sentences or the rapid pace of language acquisition.
    • Innatism (Noam Chomsky):
    • Humans are born with an innate ability for language learning (Language Acquisition Device).
    • All languages share common principles (Universal Grammar).
    • Does not fully explain language development in social context.
    • Interactionism (Lev Vygotsky, Jerome Bruner):
    • Language development occurs through social interaction (e.g., child-directed speech).
    • Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD): Children can achieve more with appropriate support.
    • Social interaction is essential aspect of language learning.

    The Critical Period Hypothesis (CPH)

    • There is a biological window for language acquisition, occurring early in life.
    • If children don't receive enough language input during this period, they may never fully acquire native-like grammar.
