PRESSING ISSUES IN EARLY WORD LEARNING
The benefits of providing an optimal environment for language learning from which infants and young children can glean the properties of their native language are manifold. The general consensus among language researchers and speech-language pathologists on facilitating language development is that exposing the young infant to an optimal socially interactive language environment enables the typically developing child to actively participate in it and learn a language, its sounds, words and their meaning, its grammar, and appropriate ways to use it to communicate in context (Hart & Risley, 1995; Huttenlocher, 1998; Zimmerman, Gilkerson, Richards, Christakis, Xu, Gray & Yapanel, 2009; Hassinger-Das, Bustamante, Hirsh-Pasek & Golinkoff, 2018).
