This was interesting to see how different factors effect how one learns language and builds in many cases on prior knowledge to put their ideas together. I found it helpful to see lanuguage broken up into these sub categories and then to see how each one has an effect on the others at times. To see that children form language by using various tools to help them form words and attach meaning etc is interesting to look at and discuss. I also thought it was interesting that although we have 26 letters there are 44 sounds and that the children have to understand the letters and combinations of them to form words, and then sentences and attach meaning to the words they learn through concrete evidence of objects etc. Interesting read
