human language acquisition

Human language acquisition is the process through which individuals learn to understand and use language. It begins in infancy, where babies listen to sounds, words, and patterns in their environment. They gradually learn to babble, form words, and construct sentences. This process is influenced by biological factors, such as the brain's capacity for language, and social interactions, including conversations with caregivers and peers. Children typically acquire their first language naturally and effortlessly, absorbing linguistic rules and vocabulary through exposure and practice, ultimately developing the ability to communicate effectively and creatively in their language.
