• Language development in early childhood
o Vocabulary
▪ Fast-mapping: a process quickly connecting new words with underlying
concepts
▪ Mutual exclusivity bias: the assumption that words refer to entirely
separate (non overlapping) categories.
▪ Syntactic bootstrapping: observing how words are used in syntax, or the
structure of sentences
o Grammar
▪ Overregularization: a type of error- applying rules without appropriate
exceptions
▪ Different views in explaining grammar development:
• Chosky’s LAD
• Semantic bootstrapping: Focusing on word meanings
• Direct observations (with a special language-making capacity)
o Pragmatics: the practical, social side of language
▪ Around age 2, preschoolers begin to master pragmatics
▪ Presence of siblings help
▪ Adapt language to social experience by age 4
