Observe about Language Acquisition of Children

Language is a form of rule or system of symbols used to communicate by children and adapt to its environment. Language acquisition is acquiring language subconscious. Although how children learn to speak is not perfectly understood, most explanations involve both the observation that children copy what they hear and the inference that human beings have a natural aptitude for understanding grammar. Speech and language disorders are one of the causes of developmental disorders are most commonly found in children. Speech delay is a major complaint that is often feared and parents complained to the doctor.

In this paper, I examine a boy aged 4 years and have not been able to speak normally. His name is Kilan. He can understand what he sees or playing, but he can’t speak well. Then, what are the words that he could produce in speaking? What is the cause of delay in talking to this child?

HUBUNGAN BAHASA PIJIN DAN KREOL

DALAM FONOLOGI, MORFOLOGI, SINTAKSIS, DAN GRAMMAR

Munculnya pijin kemungkinan mengharuskan ada setidaknya tiga bahasa. Jika salah satu bahasa lebih dominan, pengguna bahasa yang tidak dominan berperan penting dalam pembentukan pijin. Mereka tidak hanya berbicara kepada pengguna bahasa dominan, tetapi juga harus anatar mereka yang tidak dominan. Dengan demikian, dominasi bahasa tersebut akan hilang. Bahasa pijin juga merupakan bahasa perdagangan yang digunakan di daerah pantai dimana terdapat banyak bahasa. Oleh karena itu bahasa pijin lebih merupakan lingua franca anatar mereka yang tidak mampu saling berkomunikasi dengan bahasa standar. Misalnya, pidgin Chinese English oleh penutur bahasa Cina yang beragam, dan Neo-Melanesian (Tok Pisin) yang merupakan bahasa pemersatu penutur berbagai bahasa di Papua Nugini.

five key hypotheses about second language acquisition by Krashen

There are five key hypotheses about second language acquisition by Krashen:

1. THE ACQUISITION-LEARNING DISCTINCTION

Adults have two different ways to develop competence in a language: language acquisition and language learning.

Language acquisition is a subconscious process not unlike the way a child learns language. Language acquirers are not consciously aware of the grammatical rules of the language, but rather develop a "feel" for correctness. "In non-technical language, acquisition is 'picking-up' a language."

Language learning, on the other hand, refers to the "conscious knowledge of a second language, knowing the rules, being aware of them, and being able to talk about them." Thus language learning can be compared to learning about a language.
