AbstractSecond language acquisition (SLA) is a field that investigates child and adult SLA from a variety of theoretical perspectives. This article provides a survey of some key areas of concern including formal generative theory and emergentist theory in the areas of morpho‐syntax and phonology.

Developments concerning the nature of language have taken place in the disparate disciplines of linguistics, ethology and neurology. It is not widely known that these developments have brought these fields of study into accord, and have helped clarify the mechanism of language acquisition in childhood. They carry practical implications important to the

COMPARATIVE PSYCHOLOGY AND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION*
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1978A science of psychology must assume that behavior is lawful. We recognize diversity, but we assume that both similarity and difference are products of the same fundamental laws that combine and recombine in unique ways to yield the rich diversity of behavior that we observe between and within species.

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.

European Journal of Paediatric Neurology, 2000It is claimed that if children can begin to acquire a second language at an early age they will find it easier to develop fluency, and will speak it without an accent. Age is a factor in acquiring one's mother tongue, and this also applies when learning a second language.

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).

Coreference and Language Acquisition
1999This contribution tries to account for the following two questions: (i) why does the so-called 'Delay of Principle B Effect' (DPBE) show up in the acquisition of some languages?, and (ii) why do Romance children not show a DPBE (i.e. why do they not allow unadult-like coreference between co-arguments)?
