WIREs Cognitive Science, 2010
AbstractThis article reviews current approaches to first language acquisition, arguing in favor of the theory that attributes to the child an innate knowledge of universal grammar. Such knowledge can accommodate the systematic nature of children's non‐adult linguistic behaviors.

On the First and Second Language Acquisition of Spatial Language
Spatial Cognition & Computation, 2012This paper provides a brief overview of some of the main issues concerning the acquisition of spatial language as a first or second language. We first consider spatial language variation and the challenges cross-linguistic language differences present for language learners.

ACM SIGCSE Bulletin, 1996
In this note, we outline some issues raised in considering the use of the programming language Java TM to support a first course in software development. The course - essentially CS 1 - is centered on the design and implementation of simple objects, and employs an iterative specify/design/implement/test strategy to ...

Humans acquire language naturally, namely without specific instruction, by being exposed to it and by interacting with other human beings. According to the generativist enterprise, humans are endowed with a system of knowledge on the form of possible human languages (Universal Grammar).

First Language Attrition and Developmental Language Disorder
2019Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) is an impairment specific to language that affects about 5% to 7% of all children, monolingual as well as bilingual. In this chapter, we aim to demonstrate that knowing more about attrition is important for accurately diagnosing bilingual children whose language abilities raise concerns and who may have DLD.

Listening in First and Second Language
The TESOL Encyclopedia of English Language Teaching, 2018Listeners' recognition of spoken language involves complex decoding processes: The continuous speech stream must be segmented into its component words, and words must be recognized despite great variability in their pronunciation (due to talker differences, or to influence of phonetic context, or to speech register) and despite competition from many ...

Requirements for an ideal first language
1995Five years ago, we have introduced functional languages in the introductory computer science course at our University. This experience taught us there is still room for improvement in support languages for beginners. This is summarized in the form of six requirements for languages in such a context: conceptual neatness, consistency with common usage ...

Choosing a first programming language
Proceedings of the 2010 ACM conference on Information technology education, 2010Today, among other challenges, teaching students how to write computer programs for the first time can be an important criterion for whether students in computing will remain in their program of study, i.e. Computer Science or Information Technology. Not learning to program a computer as a computer scientist or information technologist can be compared ...
