First Language Acquisition

Behavioristic Approaches • Focuses on the immediatey perceptible aspect of linguistic behavior - the publicly observable responses – and the relationships or associations between those responses and events in the world surrounding them.

• A behaviorist might consider effective language behavior to be the production of correct responses to stimuli. • If a particular responses is reinforced, it then become habitual. • Skinner theory of verbal behavior was an extension of his general theory (operant conditioning) • When consequences are rewarding, behavior is maintain.

Nativist Approach • The term nativist is derived from the fundamental assertion that language acquisiton is innately determined, what we are born with a genetic capacity that predisposes us to a systematic perception of language around us, resulting in the construction of an internalized system of language

• Child language, at any given point, is legitimate system in its own right. The child’s linguistic development is not a process of developing fewer and fewer “incorrect” structures. • The child’s language at any stage is systematic in that the child is constantly forming hypotheses on the basis of the input received and then testing the hypotheses in speech.
