The course will introduce classic and recent theoretical approaches to first language acquisition and will also cover empirical findings on the acquisition of different levels of language. After discussing nativist and constructivist approaches, and theoretical issues like the logical problem of language acquisition, the continuity assumption, poverty of the stimulus and domain-specificity of acquisition mechanisms, we will focus on language acquisition at different levels, reviewing recent findings and models of phonological, lexical, morphological, syntactic, semantic and pragmatic development.
