Children are good mimics and copy words from their parents. Also, the idea of operant conditioning (reward and punishment) helps children learn language.

Chomsky
Says language isn't learnt though imitation. Claimed language is acquired through their Language Acquisition Device (LAD), part of the brain programmed for the child to learn language. Believes the feature is innate. Universal language structure.

Bruner
Adds to Chomsky's theory. Claimed that interaction has a very important role in CLA. Talked about CDS and how that helps acquisition. Believed children have a Language Acquisition Support System (LASS). Goes with Chomsky's LAD to help children learn

Piaget
Linked to cognitive development. Children first need to learn concepts before using the appropriate language. A good example- object permanence: until a certain age, children don't understand that there are still things there when they can't see them

Vygotsky
Socio-cultural theory. Suggested two factors which contributed to language development. Private speech= talking aloud to themselves. The ZPD= caregiver shows child to do something, child will then do it independently,

Aitchison
1. Labelling: making links between sounds of words and objects they refer to. 2. Packaging: understanding word's ranged meaning. 3. Network Building: grasping connections between words, and understanding some have opposite meanings.

Bellugi
Stages of forming negative. 1. Dependence on words 'no' and 'not'. Use either singly or in front of verb etc., e.g. 'no want'. 2. Variety of method with 'don't' and 'can't'. Use either: non-existent, rejection/refusal, denial. 3. More forms acquired.
