Detailed explanation-1: -Several studies support the hypothesis that the critical/sensitive period of phonology is from the sixth month of fetal life through the 12th month of infancy. Data indicates that the critical/sensitive periods for syntax runs through the fourth year of life, and for semantics through the 15th or 16th year of life.
Detailed explanation-2: -Rather, language learning can occur after the onset of adolescence but may be incomplete. The period between infancy and adolescence, therefore, may be a sensitive period for language learning-language can be acquired more easily during this time-rather than an absolutely critical period.
Detailed explanation-3: -Study shows children remain adept learners until the age of 17 or 18.
Detailed explanation-4: -Results revealed a critical period ending around 17 years of age for the most effective acquisition of a second language (L2). The findings of a late cutoff indicate the age range of late childhood to late adolescence as crucial for learning an L2.
