THEORIES OF LANGUAGE ACQUISITION
Abstract
One of the main issues in the field of linguistics, psychology and education has been language acquisition. Throughout history, different theories have been put forward in an effort to describe how people learn their native and subsequent languages. The theories are more or less categorized into classical and modern theories, in which they provide varying theories on the mechanisms and process of language learning.
