Language development
Description:
This is the process whereby a child acquires the ability to name things as a basis for comprehending, organizing and experiencing the world. Language also serves as the most effective means of communication of socialization demands and pressures. In modern culture, language becomes, as an individual grows up, a factor of increasing importance to the conduct of life. This importance means that inadequate or mistaken understanding of what society means by particular expressions may cause severe psychological disturbance. The importance is reflected in the term [time-binding], the means by which, using language, man comprehends past, present and future.Related:
