Child Language Acquisition Monolingual vs. Bilingual: A Theoretical Analysis

Exposure to Language is important

Children need actual exposure to a language in use in order to develop a linguistic system.

Bilingual child is not a clone of two monolingual children.

Doing what is natural; acquiring language

Children go through similar stages in language acquisition.

Children acquire the language varieties they are exposed to.

Introducing Child Bilingualism

Themes of "differentiating the two languages" and "age of acquisition" arise.

Terminology for Early Child Bilinguals

Bilingual First Language Acquisition:

Meisel (1989) --> When children learn two languages from birth.

De Houwer (2005) --> Children under age of six who were exposed to two languages from birth and who continued to hear these languages regularly.

Bilingual Child Language Acquisition

Can be addressed as "two first languages" if bilingual acquisition occurs during childhood.

Meaning: acquire two or more languages when exposed to them as a very young child.

When exposed to them, children acquire each of them like monolinguals.

Child Language Acquisition

Children acquire language that's "highly complex and structured system compromising several system."

Children acquire the language of the community they grow in

Without coaching of parents, children tend to acquire language from their environment.
