Talk:Language development

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Consider deleting this page and pointing to Language acquisition page. RToes 21:00, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Why would you want to delete it? I read it and the other you want it to point to and wanted both. Maybe we should just add a SEE MORE at the bottom and link Language acquisition. AiRo25 01 March 2006

If both articles are kept then a good distinction should be made between them and they should reference each other. The distinction that I see is that language development is an evolutionary or historical process whereas language acquisition is the process by which children acquire the ability to speak. As it is, both articles refer to the latter process. The interesting material in "language development" could be moved to the language acquisiton article. Bob 07:50, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

This article is very important, but it needs something else. How about a source why so many first-words are "mama?" There are plenty of books citing those. How about misconceptions? Demographics? However, I do understand RToes's comment about this article being deleted -- if I were to edit this article, I'd probably end up deleting half of it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.23.195.61 (talk) 19:10, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
