Children master native language through complex processes involving speech perception, sound production, and vocabulary development. This review details key preschool language acquisition milestones and challenges across different languages.

Area of Science:

  • Developmental Psychology
  • Linguistics
  • Cognitive Science

Context:

  • Preschool years are critical for language acquisition.
  • Language learning involves extracting environmental cues and understanding meaning.
  • Despite apparent ease, language acquisition is a complex cognitive process.

Purpose:

  • To review major achievements in preschool language acquisition.
  • To describe accomplishments in speech perception, phonology, lexicon, syntax, and morphology.
  • To identify current issues in language development bases and processes.

Summary:

  • Language acquisition follows a similar sequence across languages.
  • Examples from French acquisition in Québec illustrate universal milestones and cross-linguistic challenges.
