- Language development theories and research to support
- Bruner's social interaction theory (children learn through social interaction)
- CASE STUDY (Jim): had deaf parents and watched TV all day however this meant he failed to fully understand pragmatics and fully develop language
- Child directied speech
- Skinner's imitation theory (children learn by copying what they hear around them)
- Parents use scaffolding and recasting
- Chomsky's nativist theory (children are able to learn language using an innate language acquistion device)
- Children make virtuous errors such as 'runned' which is an overgeneralisation
- Jean Burko: using the wug test found that children can apply morphemes without imitation
- Jean Aitchison (page 64 of AQA text book)
- Piaget's cognitive theory (children can only start to use language once their brain understands the meaning)
- Katherine Nelson: 60% of a child's first 50 words are nouns - shows that children are naming what they can see and understand but not much further
- Bruner's social interaction theory (children learn through social interaction)
