Q

Alphabetic Principle

A

The idea that sounds used in oral speech are represented by written symbols and these symbols can be combined to form units of speech such as words.

Applies to many modern languages including English but sounds and the way they are represented symbolically may vary between languages

Q

Development of First Language:

Biological Model

A

Aka.Nativism - theorizes children have innate language specific (brain) abilities that facilitate and constrain language learning. Also believe children have a Critical Period during which they are best able to acquire language skills.

Q

Development of First Language:

Social/Functional Model

A

Non-Nativism - argues there is no specific biological hardwiring for language, instead support a psychological and social/functional model of language acquisition. Language abilities develop out of general cognitive abilities and social interactions with fellow learners and community.
