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.
