Detailed explanation-1: -Whereas principles restrict the number of possible natural grammars that may be acquired by a child, parameters allow to account for variation between languages. An example of a fundamental principle is the Extended Projection Principle (EPP) which requires every sentence to have a subject.
Detailed explanation-2: -Principles and parameters is a framework within generative linguistics in which the syntax of a natural language is described in accordance with general principles (i.e. abstract rules or grammars) and specific parameters (i.e. markers, switches) that for particular languages are either turned on or off.
Detailed explanation-3: -Parameters are properties that individual languages have that differentiate them from other languages. It has been assumed that there is a universal set of parameters for languages to draw upon, though there is no hard core evidence to support this interesting view. However, we shall assume it here without argument.
Detailed explanation-4: -Language learning (LL) is the process of actively trying to learn and understand a language. LL happens more consciously and is more likely the result of formal teaching. Perhaps, like how a second language is learned. On the other hand, language acquisition is the process of gaining language knowledge naturally.
