Linguistic Input

Linguistic input refers to the language exposure a person receives, which shapes their understanding and use of language. This includes spoken and written words, phrases, and sentences encountered in conversations, books, media, and other forms of communication. In learning contexts, especially for children, rich and diverse linguistic input helps develop vocabulary, grammar, and overall language skills. Essentially, the quality and quantity of language one encounters influence how effectively they learn and communicate.
