Detailed explanation-1: -Language acquisition is the process by which humans acquire the capacity to perceive and comprehend language (in other words, gain the ability to be aware of language and to understand it), as well as to produce and use words and sentences to communicate.
Detailed explanation-2: -Language acquisition involves structures, rules, and representation. The capacity to use language successfully requires one to acquire a range of tools including phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and an extensive vocabulary. Language can be vocalized as in speech, or manual as in sign.
Detailed explanation-3: -Language acquisition is how humans learn a language. One of the earliest researchers in language acquisition was B.F. Skinner (1957), a behaviorist. Skinner was interested in how humans change their behavior regarding language acquisition.
