Children's Language:
After reading some articles on children's language on emagazine, I have read about reasons why children struggle with the past tense. One reason is that the child can remember the word as a single utterance. However, because the child doesn't subconsciously know about the language rules or hasn't learned about them yet in their language development, the child does not apply the rules of the past tense to the words so ends up saying utterances like "goed" and "runned". Also the reason to why children use language is to express a particular need, form relationships, tell people what to do etc. They learn to use language from watching others and imitating people talking about them as well as the theory by Noam Chomsky which states that children have an innate ability to speak and learn language very quickly early on in life. These articles were very interesting to read and gave me more information about children's language and how it develops as the child progresses from each language stage of their development.
Language investigation
On the articles about how to approach language investigations, it states that you need to have a subject which you can analyze and enjoy in order to get the best grade. However didn't entirely find these articles useful in conducting an investigation.
