Tell me about the theories of language acquisition

Research Assistant ...

Language acquisition theories have evolved over the years, with a wide consensus that the complexity of
acquiring a mother tongue cannot be fully explained by any single theory [5]. Whitney's work in the late
nineteenth century emphasized language acquisition as the starting point for studying language, rejecting
the prevailing divine origin theory and highlighting the continual evolution of language to meet social and
personal needs [2]. Recent research has shown a lack of representation from the Global South in language
acquisition studies, with Mayan language acquisition making significant contributions to testing theories
related to input, lexical, semantic, and morphological development [4]. The importance of understanding
linguistic typology in language acquisition is evident through research on Mesoamerican languages like
Search and Discovery Mayan Tzotzil [4]. Despite the progress made in applying learning theory to language acquisition, there is
still a need for greater integration between the two fields to advance understanding in both areas [3].

In conclusion, language diversity plays a crucial role in shaping acquisition theory and practice, highlighting
the need for more inclusive research approaches.

Web of Science 告诉我有关语言习得的理论

Research Assistant ...

语言习得理论涉及多种学派，如结构主义、生成语言学和基于语言使用的语言学。
生成语法学家倾向于理性主义，认为语言能力的结构反映了先天的指导，而不是环
境影响[4]。与之相对，一些理论家主张经验主义观点，认为发展起来的语言能力结
构反映了语言环境[4]。此外，学习理论和语言习得领域的独立发展曾阻碍了两个领
域的进展[5]。然而，最近在将学习理论应用于语言以及利用语言学习数据推进领域
通用学习理论方面取得了令人兴奋的进展[5]。这些发展为领域之间的信息双向流动
Search and Discovery 带来了希望[5]。综上所述，语言习得理论的研究涉及多种学派观点，而学习理论和
语言习得领域之间的互动对于两个领域的发展至关重要。
