First Language Vocabulary Acquisition

Children produce their first words anywhere between 12 months and 24 months of age. And they add steadily to their vocabulary from then on, at a rate estimated at around nine words a day up to age six (Clark, 2009). Keywords: first language acquisition; pragmatics; interactionist language studies; vocabulary
