Answer to #2

 Phonology: the sounds that make up a language
 Morphology: the meaning-bearing units of language
 Syntax: the rules for ordering words into sentences
 Semantics: the shades of meaning that words convey
 Pragmatics: the social rules that enable accomplishment of real-life purposes

Answer to #3

At birth, the human brain is remarkably unfinished. Most of the 100 billion neurons or brain cells are not yet connected. As a child matures, the number of synapse connections increases, and the message-receiving dendrite branches grow larger and heavier. This neural wiring (and the simultaneous maturation of the hippocampus and other areas of the brain responsible for memory storage and retrieval) allows children to begin to consistently link sounds to objects. Neural readiness, in combination with countless hours of sound play and verbal exchanges with loving caregivers, allows most children to begin speaking their first words.

Answer to #4

Four competing theories attempt to explain how children acquire language. The behaviorist perspective emphasizes the role of parental reinforcement in helping children to learn the sounds, words, and rules of language. Nativists stress the importance of children's inborn capacity to learn language. The social-interactionist position emphasizes the importance of both environmental factors and children's innate predisposition to make sense out of language and use it for practical purposes; according to this view, children learn about language by using it in social situations. The social-interactionist view also highlights the role of parental support in language acquisition. The neuro-biological view complements all three of the previous views on language development and explains the ways in which the structural development of the brain is related to language acquisition.
