An Analysis by Comparing Monolingual and Multilingual Environment to Study Childrens First Language Acquisition
The process of children language acquisition and relevant influence factors has attracted researchers and academicians attention due to its implications for speech therapy and neurolinguistics. The process of childrens first language acquisition is a dynamic and complicated experience that involves multiple stages. This review examines these stages while considering the impact of language environment. Furthermore, it compares and contrasts research findings on children raised in monolingual and multilingual environments to analyze key influencing factors. The findings suggest that the multilingual environment is shaping the better cognitive and social-interactional development for kids, which make their language performance outstanding compared with monolingual kids. For filling the research gap in this region, the discussion part of this review explored the relationship between linguistic learning and socioeconomic status (SES). This paper also underscores a high SES background is having a positive impact on kids language development. This study focused on the background and psychological factors during language acquisition, which provide meaningful reference for further research in this field.
