Language acquisition

The Importance of Language Acquisition

The most important aspect of human existence and essential to communication is language acquisition. A child picks up the main language, also known as the first language (L1), from their parents and the wider community. In other cases, learning a new language is taught in a classroom environment or is practiced by someone who speaks that language. In the study of L2 acquisition, emphasis is placed on a variety of variables, including interest and brain capacity, in relation to the growth of verbal morphological elements. There are various discussions about the second tongue. The L2 acquisition is different in comprehension depending on several factors like age and the intelligence quotient of a person (Juffs & Guillermo A Rodríguez, 2015). When science comes to the picture in early brain development one can inform the core concepts of neuroscience and research on the behavioral patterns as well as the elaboration of the child in the society.

Brain Development and Language Acquisition

The brain development is built over time, and the neural connections for different functions develop rapidly in the before the child gets to one year. The language curve within the first year will be steepest for one year after which the curve drops to the normal brain development in the child (Mobaraki & Mohsen, 2007). In the past, a debate on L1 and L2 that has been going around for several decades now that entails the way a child and an adult second language acquisition of morpho-syntax. According to the History of Language, acquisition described cognitive and behavioral explanations where data is collected and examined in spontaneous speech and the ability to grasp L2 vocabulary.

Brain Representation in Language Acquisition

The brain representation in the first years of language acquisition can be represented in the form of a graph that shows the cognitive ability of the brain and the learning curves during acquiring L2.(*).

Comparison of Old-Persian (Farsi) and English Language Acquisition

The capacity of the brain changes with decrease in age and flexibility is measured in the early stages of the child’s development.

Parental Difficulties in Language Acquisition

In the current study, the discussion on the comparison of old-Persian lingua called Farsi and English regarding organizational writing and speech synthesis. Skinner’s theory of reward or punishment on language acquisition shows that a child should be rewarded or punished depending on the child’s ability. In most cases, this is not the case. Therefore, parents find it difficult to know what appropriate actions. In verbal morphology and standardized test of intelligence in comparison to the aptitude and the verbal memory that shows the processing speed of language in children and specifically in the description of verbenas as a factor affecting the rate of development.

Farsi-English Language Acquisition in Children

English Language acquisition in Farsi speaking kids starts with the basic translation of the commonly used vocabulary. The morphology component is used for understanding the meaning of utterances. Responses and reinforcing stimulus in the observation of English language in spoken sentences, analyze the syntax and the meaning of a word through the construction of a mental image of knowledge and beliefs. Sometimes the possible behavior of the person speaking the sentences is related and integrated with the knowledge and representation and what the world expects of the person.

Differences Between English and Farsi Language Structure

In the English language, the boundaries of where a sentence starts and ends can be quite clear unlike the verb final language in Farsi where there are no markers to distinguish between a subject and an object. Farsi, an indo-European language with standard analysis that shows that when a prepositional phase is present (Mobaraki & Mohsen, 2007). Pronouns that refer to person appear as critics and the criticized pronouns and can function as different cases depending on the part of the speech at play.

Differences in Verb Structure Between English and Farsi

In English, speaking verbs are marked for tense and aspect so that an agreement is made with the subject in a person or number of the subject is derivable from clues and agreement. In pronominal subjects, Farsi fall under the category where the item is nulled like in Chinese or Japanese because the language verbs have persons. Farsi in some instances is similar to Greek, Turkish, Spanish and Italian which has a rich verbal inflection and individuals making the verb identifies who or what they mean (Juffs & Guillermo A Rodríguez, 2015). When forming nonfinite clauses, it’s possible to a non-overt subject to pronounce than when a finite clause can occur. Therefore the existence of the difference in the third person in using the English language is altered in Farsi where the difference is profound.

Translation Challenges from Farsi to English

In translations of the languages from Farsi to English shows the representation of the letters and how some several words may be used to represent one English word. Example “Ali trenha nre-bood” this means “Ali alone not-was” when direct expression change. To give the sentence flow and meaning the sentenced is arranged in the following manner “Ali was not alone.”

Negation in Farsi Language

The basic occurrence of a prepositional phrase happens between subjects and the direct object being referred (Mobaraki & Mohsen, 2007). Multiple sentences require full or multiple negations since a negative element may occur with the verbs that produce a sentence with less negative remarks. Among the common ones they include the following: hicvreqt ’never,’ hicja ’nowhere,’ hic/hiCi ’nothing,’ hickres ’no one’ and hrergez ’never.’
