First Language Acquisition
  1. The behaviourist perspective
    1. 1. HYPOTHESIS: The child's language behaviour is shaped by:
      1. The quality and quantity of the language the child hears.
        1. Consistency of the reinforcement offered by others.
        2. 2. Imitation and practice are the primary processes in language development.
          1. 3. Behaviorism does not explain the acquisition of the more complex grammar that children acquire.
            1. 4. Influential figure: B.F. Skinner.
            2. The innatist perspective
              1. 3. Influential figure: Noam Chomsky.
                1. 1. Hypothesis: All human languages are based on some innate universal principles.
                  1. The environment offers a basic contribution: People who speak to the child.
                    1. The child's biological endowment.
                    2. 2. Children discover the underlying rules of a language on the samples of a natural language they are exposed to.
                    3. Interactionist/developmental perspectives
                      1. 3. They argue that innatists place too much emphasis on the "final state" of a language and not enough to the developmental aspects of language acquisition.
                        1. 4. Earliest proponents: Piaget (interaction is the expression of written symbols) and Vygotsky (social interaction results from internalized speech).
                          1. 1. Hypothesis: Language acquisition is based on both learners´ innate abilities and on opportunities to engage in conversations.
                            1. Language develops primarily from social interaction.
                            2. 2. Zone of proximal development: Metaphorical place in which children can do more than they wold be capable of doing independently.
