1

omits non-essential linking words.

1

By what age are children masters at complex syntactic structures and grammatical rules?

1

- speech is a productive way of improving an infant's vocabulary because of the slower rate of speech, higher intonation, and longer pauses. Keywords are emphasised with a higher and louder voice.

1

1

Some believe that the syntactic errors that children make as they grow older is evidence for an innate - system.

1

________'s approach to language development was universalist and believed that there are grounded aspects of language that we are predisposed to. He believes that language and thought are separate, and furthers his stance with the Language Acquisition Device (LAD) (1965)
