LING 11.17 Language Acquisition
Language is a socially and cognitively complex activity, yet most healthy individuals acquire language in the first years of their life with no expended effort. This course provides an in-depth overview of typical language development from fetus to adult, as well as atypical development. The study of this topic within this course is informed by cognitive science, speech and hearing, psychology, philosophy, and neurology, and is ultimately couched in linguistic framework and terminology.
