Concepts of Language Development and Language Disability With Evidence Base Analysis

Language and communication are important parts of every human being to function well in a civilised society he or she found himself or herself. Any disruption of these needs could amount to impairment of “normal†functioning of the individual in the society or community. This article sought to look what is meant by language and its development at various stages of child’s development. The article evidently looked at form or grammar; how it is developed in a neurotypical child or “normal†child. Attention is also paid to how children could be confronted with difficulties. The write up illuminates what is referred to as language disability and specific language impairment. The write up explore cross cultural patterns of grammar development or formation. The dominant aspect of English grammar is the word order. In other languages the dominant aspect is the morphology and the grammatical inflections. For example, Italian language gives a lot importance to bound inflections. Thus, it depends on where a language focuses and the origin of that particular language. However, this work main focus is on concept of English language development and language disability but being an evidence based work, an example of Italian language has been mentioned to support few points. This work is organized in thematic areas and literature in form of books, articles and journals related to this topic were reviewed as well.
