Language Acquisition
Tuesday, November 15, 2016
Complexity
The more complex a language system is,
the longer children will acquire it.
For example:
English-speaking children master plurality by the age of 6-7
Arabic-speaking children master plurality by the age of 14-15
Comprehension vs Production
Children can comprehend what they can't produce,
but they can't produce what they can't comprehend.
