FIRST LANGUAGE ACQUISITION IN EARLY CHILDHOOD (0-6YEARS): A MULTIDIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS OF COGNITIVELINGUISTIC, SOCIOPRAGMATIC, AND PHONOLOGICALDEVELOPMENT

Abstract

This article explores the intricate process of first language acquisition
(FLA) in children from birth to age six. By adopting a multidimensional approach, the study examines the intersection of cognitive-linguistic structures, sociopragmatic interactions, and phonological refinement. The research analyzes how biological predispositions interact with environmental stimuli to facilitate rapid linguistic growth. Findings suggest that while the "Critical Period" provides a window for neuroplasticity, sociopragmatic engagement is the primary catalyst for functional fluency. The paper concludes with implications for early childhood education and linguistic interventions.
