Focusing on the intricate process of language acquisition, this thesis explores how humans learn to perceive, produce, and utilize language. It critically examines various influential theories of language acquisition, assessing their effectiveness in explaining how children develop linguistic abilities. By evaluating these theories against empirical data, the work aims to shed light on the mechanisms through which language knowledge emerges and evolves, contributing to a deeper understanding of this fundamental aspect of human development.
