Sources of Variation in First Language Acquisition: Languages, contexts, and learners, Hickmann, Maya †, Edy Veneziano and Harriet Jisa (eds.), pp. 201–218

This study addresses the role of input, i.e., child-directed speech, in child language acquisition. Proposing a dynamic approach of input-output relationships, we examine the development of noun determiners in the spontaneous production data of three monolingual children between one and three years… read more | Chapter

Grammaticalization and First Language Acquisition: Crosslinguistic perspectives, Bassano-Bonhommo, Dominique and Maya Hickmann † (eds.), pp. 61–80

This contribution analyzes adaptation between child language and child-directed speech (CDS) during the development of grammaticalization in child language. The study compares developmental trajectories of three children (learning Dutch, Austrian German and French) with the trajectories of the CDS… read more | Article

The development of L1 and L2 are described as co-adaptation between an expert and a novice, based on the framework of complex dynamic systems. We present three dynamic models. The first focuses on L1 and describes the caregivers’ adaptation to the language level of the child, and the child's… read more | Article

Language acquisition is viewed as an example of a dynamic system. It consists of many components that interact with each other. The components show trajectories over time, the properties of which result from the dynamics of the interaction. A large variety of components can be taken as potential… read more | Article
