Language Development

Victoria C. P. Knowland, Chris Donlan · Educational Neuroscience · 2013

This chapter shows how variability in language systems arises and how enriching the environment can influence developmental trajectories of learning. Language development is also highly dependent on genetic influence, as in part evidenced by the numerous studies showing that genetic factors play an important role in the causation of specific language impairment in children, independent of socioeconomic status (SES). The chapter traces the ontogenetic process of language acquisition: from the time infants are first exposed to their native language or languages; through childhood as language develops. It begins to impact on academic skills and literacy; and through adolescence as linguistic abilities are solidified but vocabulary continues to develop and extend. SES is a multidimensional construct generally measured by a combination of parental education, occupation, and income, yet in terms of cognitive development. Formal teaching in educational settings typically relies on oral language.

Annette Gerstenberg, Anja Voeste · Impact · 2015

Language Development: The lifespan perspective generates insights into the central issues of age-dependent language change, focusing especially on the middle and later stages of life. The contributors exploit contemporary and historical longitudinal data, adopting psycholinguistic, corpus linguistic and sociolinguistic approaches. Linguistic changes are discussed against the background of cognitive, somatic and social factors. Bringing the resulting contributions together, the volume aims to resume the discussion of contradictions between the models of change and constancy over an individual’s lifespan that have not been sufficiently resolved to date. The volume is intended to serve as an interdisciplinary reference resource for those conducting research on language development and the aging process and as a supplementary course book on language variability and change.

Language provides a remarkably clear window onto the complex workings of the human psyche and the human brain. By studying people’s names for animals and foods, we can learn how they think about the biological world. By examining and testing people who have suffered from a brain lesion, we can identify parts of the brain that are important for particular cognitive and emotional functions. By studying infant babbling, we can understand how the brain comes to control the vocal apparatus. By observing how people learn a second language, we can come to understand ways in which the mind and brain change over time and experience. By studying how people describe their solutions to problems, we can track the details of problem solving in activities, such as chess, architecture, medicine, and law. In these and many other ways, we can use language as a window onto the mind and the brain
