- What is acquisition? the non conscious and natural process of internalizing the rules of a language
- what is language learning? the conscious - usually classroom- study of a language, including attending to rules of grammar
- What are characteristics of first language acquisition? takes place relatively quickly most grammar is known by 5 follows a natural order of steps until they start acquiring grammar at the age of 2 happens despite poverty of stimulus (learn more than theyre exposed to) happens through exposure and input not instruction and correction given there is no brain damage, FLA is always succesful
- What is the babbling period? children produce a variety of sounds from all sorts of languages, they experiment phonetic abundance - sounds have no meaning
- What is the first genuine stage of acquisition? children lose ability to make all sorts of sounds, produce phonemes instead of phones (meaning) lose ability to produce the sounds of their sorrounding language phonetic abundance turns into phonemic scarcity
- What is minimum consonantism? the order in which consonants are acquired
- What is minimum vocalism? the order in which vowels are acquired
- Behaviorism after skinner stimulus response reinforcement children imitate the language around them, if there are positive responses the patterns will be continued mental processes are neglected - principle of "say what I say" Skinners hypothesis is incapable of explaining overgeneralization eg using irregular verbs as if they were regular even withouth being exposed to such forms
- Nativism after chomsky children are biologically programmed ot learn a language input is only the basis and their endowment does the rest this innate ability is called language acquisition device nature instead of nurture
