How people learn their first language Session 2

Developmental sequences Morphemes Negation Questions

Order of Acquisition (morphemes) Put these into the order that children acquire them… Possessive ‘s Auxiliary ‘be’ (he is coming) Present progressive (mummy coming) Copula (Jane is a nice girl) Third person singular (he runs) Plural s (two books) Regular past (she walked) Irregular past (she went) Articles ‘the’ and ‘a’

Actual order Present progressive Plural s Irregular past forms Possessive ‘s Copula Articles Regular past Third person singular Auxiliary ‘be’

Negation Five forms of negation in English: 1. Not (‘nt) 2. Negative words (nobody) 3. No before nouns (no books are available) 4. Negative adverbs (nowhere/never) 5. Negative prefixes (dis/non/un)

Stages of negation Opposition to a proposition ( months shaking head) No (first fifty words) Negative + X (no go, no book, no ketchup/not go, not book, not ketchup.) Subject + no + X (Mummy no/not go park) More complex sentences/other negations (I don’t like it). NB. Early on, ‘no’ and ‘not’ interchangeable with ‘don’t’ and ‘can’t’. Negatives of more auxiliary verbs (aren’t/doesn’t/isn’t) and past tense forms.

Questions Rising intonation (Rosie button?) What? (Whatsit?) Where? Who? Why? How? When?

Hot dogs! Task Note down as much as you can of what the little girl says. Look back at your notes on child language learning: what can this child do/not do? What do you expect her to learn next?

How do people learn their first language? Three influential theories are: 1. Behaviourism 2. Nativism (Innatism) 3. Sociolinguistic (Interactionist)

How we learn our first language Task 1. Read through your text and answer the questions with other members of your group. 2. ‘Teach’ members of your new group what you have learnt. 3. Discuss the group questions together.
