The birth of a word

Children learn things according to where they are and with whom they are.

Little by little, they listen to new words and internalize them.

At first the level in which they learn things and speak them is not developed 100%

Deb Roy identified on his soon each of the 503 words that he learned to produce by his second birthday.

Different word has a connection between them, so when different people talked to the child he tried to connect the word heard in different context.

Our world is changing and we have the capacity to collect and connect the points between what people are saying and the context where they are said.

Patricis Kuhl: The linguistic genius of babies

Mothers and fathers speaks to their babies to preserve those languages, they need to speak it to the baby's.

Babies can discriminate all the sound of all languages, and that is remarkable because old people can’t do that.

Children born looking for a language, if this doesn’t happen, the child will have a pathology.

When children start making sounds like “bababa” or “mamama” means that they already knows the phonemes, forms of the language. When the children knows all this, will start to use it making different sounds.

We dream without talking or without words. For dreaming we use images and movements, that’s how we think.

1-The Role of the Affective Filter in Language Learning

The basic data will consist of the utterances produced by children.

In vocabulary, they may look at how a child´s comprehension of certain words develops.

Parents generally do not correct their children´s utterances even when their speech contains pronunciation and grammatical errors.

Observing language in natural or experimental setting and recording data are fundamental steps in process of investigation.

We will limit ourselves to examining data on children’s acquisition of English grammar.

Mistakes show that children construct grammatical rules for themselves without direct teaching.

Is significant that the child persist in the overgeneralization, even when the adult´s speech to the child contains the correct form.

2-Popular ideas about language learning revisited

The acquisition of native-speaker pronunciation in any language is biologically possible over 12 years old.

The true is: the acquisition of native-speaker pronunciation in any language is biologically possible only until about the age of twelve

Aphasia: a loss of language abilities associated with brain damage from injury or disease.

Patients with injuries to the right hemisphere retain the ability to speak and understand language perfectly.

A child's brain has a degree of flexibility that allows the right hemisphere, to take over the functions of the left.

Learners who wish to acquire a native-speaker accent need to start on the task before their teens and that older learners are unlikely ever to achieve that goal.

3-Learning a first language

Children´s ability to understand and use it to express themselves develops rapidly in the pre-school years.

There is not evidence that a child´s brain has a limited capacity for languages such that their knowleadge of one language must shrink if their knowledge of the other one grows.

Grammatical morphemas→ order of acquisition.

Example: mi(s) libro(s)→ this “S” are the grammatical morphemas

Negation→ “no” this is what the child would say at first when he/she doesn´t want to do something, then will start with “me nether” and so on.

Specific language impairtient: when children are unable to speak a language without having any problem in the brain, mouth…

For example: in basque “erremerriak”

Critical period: in this period we are able to develop language, but after this period we don´t.

Interaction: to give(output) and receive(input) information. → language.

Esencial to practice what we learn.

El cerebro de un bebé y el aprendizaje de lenguas

Each language use a unique combination of sounds. The scientists knows that children born with the capacity of distinguishing all, but it concerns about a capacity that starts to fade before they start speaking.

The children can be converted into bilingual just talking to them in two languages, and they can learn both languages at the same time that the other children spend learning it. That it´s the conclusion of Agnes Melinda Kovacs de la International School for Advanced Studies, from Italy.

But this capacity diminished when the child grow, exactly at the age of 6 to 12 months. In this period of time the child's start perceiving the sound about the language that they know.

At the age of 4-6 months the child´s start looking at the mouth of people when they speak. This can be to get more information about what they are listening to. But when they have kind of 1 year they look to other person ages.

Finally, when we listen one person talking all the brain starts working. So a lot of neurons activate to learn the sentences that they are listening to.
