The acquisition of phonology

Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on the acquisition of phonology, this critical essay explores how children rapidly develop language skills in their early years. It highlights the complexities involved in mastering their mother tongue, including phonology, morphology, syntax, lexis, semantics, and pragmatic rules. While the stages of language acquisition are presented universally, special attention is given to English phonology. The work aims to inform parents and educators about the developmental process, including common errors and unique utterances children make during the first four to six years of language learning.
