ENG 380 Week 4 Language Acquisition Paper

Our minds work in mysterious ways–or so the saying goes. We have a certain capacity to acquire language. In this assignment, you will explore that capacity by researching language acquisition, bilingualism, and our ability to create language.

Write a 1,400- to 1,750-word paper in which you analyze our capacity to acquire language. Include the following:

  • The stages of first language acquisition
  • A comparison of second language learning and true (or sequential) bilingualism, noting which process is closer to first langauge acquisition and how the other process differs from first language acquisition
  • Our capacity to create language (language genesis)

Format the entire essay, including title page, citations, and references, according to appropriate course level APA guidelines.  Use the textbook as a source. While there is no minimum number of other sources involved, you may use additional sources besides the text to support your analysis.
