THEORIES OF LANGUAGE ACQUISITION IN RELATION TO BEGINNING READING INSTRUCTION.

Nativist Theories

-According to McNeill:

An innate property of LAD is the ability to distinguish speech sounds from other sounds in the environment.

-McNeill claims that the child must acquire a generative-transformational grammar.

-Lenneberg, proposes:

Abnormal language development caused by genetics.

Theory of language acquisition, supported by biological evidence of normal language development.

Cognitive Theories.

-Cromer provides further evidence of the role of cognitive abilities in determining the language the child can use.

-Cromer: points out that the ability to express events out of chronological order develops.

-Slobin regards language acquisition as an active process in which certain abilities of the child develop.

-A second: is the mental ability to retain items in short term memory

-One is the cognitive ability lo deal with the world.

Behavioristic Theories

-Jenkins and Palermo propose:

Language acquisition that recognizes some recent linguistic advances.

- In the early stages.

The vocabulary of the mother tongue was strengthened through repetition.

Parents reinforced what they had learned through approval.

The children reproduced all the sounds of all the languages.

-Skinner was the exponent of:

A behavior, once reinforced, will continue especially after reinforcement or reward.

-Presents the first attempt to provide an explanation for the development of language.

Exposes the processes of language learning in children.

Theoretical studies

-Through a process, the child's language becomes more and more similar to the language of the culture to which it belongs.

-Children's language is derived from a pre-vocal stage, through several stages replete with errors and deficiencies.

- No coherent explanation of language acquisition emerges from the studies reviewed by McCarthy.

-The studies reviewed above appear atheoretical because the researchers made little effort to formulate and test hypotheses.
