Question 12 - Model Answers

"...virtually every child learns language. Not only do almost all children learn language but they also learn it at approximately the same rate...Remarkable, researchers have found that parents do not explicitly teach their children the structure of language...This is the miracle of language acquisitions that linguists and psycholinguists have tried to explain." Kuder, page 41

A. Choose a model of language acquisition.

B. Explain and provide support for the model with examples from a video on the website shown in class that demonstrate how children acquire language. Your explanation must include specific aspects of the model/theory that you can explain or see in the video.
