Pathological Conditions to language development

 Children who have a language disorder have trouble understanding language and
communicating.
 There are 2 kinds of language disorders: receptive and expressive. Children often have both at
the same time.
 A child with a receptive language disorder has trouble understanding words that they hear and
read.
 A child with an expressive language disorder has trouble speaking with others and expressing
thoughts and feelings.
 Language disorders can have many possible causes, such as a brain injury or birth defect.
 A speech-language pathologist can help diagnose and treat a language disorder.
 Parents can help their child with language use and understanding through simple activities.

Which one has the capability to develop the language first, those who are exposed to bilingual
environment or monolingual development?
When a bilingual toddler wants to say something, both of his languages become activated in his
brain and they compete internally with each other (it’s as if both languages are saying “Pick me,
pick me!”).  In order to communicate, the toddler has to select the language he needs and
actively suppress the other language to prevent it from intruding. This requires both selective
attention and cognitive flexibility. These skills may be stronger in bilingual children simply
because they’ve been exercised more compared to children who are exposed to monolingual
environment.
Why is twinning a factor to slow or slower language development?
Twins are more likely to have delayed speech and language skills than single children.
There is tons of variation in language scores among twins, but overall, research shows that twins
do tend to fall behind in language a bit more than single-born children do. Male twins in
particular are vulnerable, often falling about 6 months behind even female twins (Lewis &
Thompson, 1992).
The social experiences that twins have are often a bit different than single childrens’, and those
differences can sometimes lead to mild speech delays. For example, twins sometimes have less
language stimulation compared to single-born children because they end up sharing the attention
of their parents/teachers/caregivers. Twins also get less one-on-one time with their families than
single children do.
What concept in language development is the hardest for the child to learn?

What is the relationship between language development and social development?

Language development is correlated to social development. hen children have issues with
language, it can lead to problems with relationships with peers or parents because children must
be able to adequately communicate their feelings, thoughts and desires in order to form deep
connections and maintain friendships throughout life. Language development issues can extend
over to other aspects of learning and cognitive development, but the earlier any language issues
can be identified and dealt with, the better the outcome for the child. Part of language
development is being able to verbally express yourself. When children have difficulties
expressing themselves verbally, they can have issues socially, according to a study published in
the Encyclopedia of Language and Literacy Development. The study, "The Impact of Language
Development on the Psychosocial and Emotional Development of Young Children," says
children with language development issues often feel insecure in speaking to their peers about
their likes and dislikes. This leads to a decrease in social activity, and more isolation for the
child. Children with speech and conversational language delays may have a difficult time
expressing their social issues to their parents, as well. 
How does the environment where a child is reared influence his language development?
Specifically, children growing up in households with richer home language environments have
been shown to learn vocabulary faster, exhibit increased processing speed, and develop overall
stronger language and cognitive skills. Children acquire a language through his experience that
they get from various environments, the more the exposure from environment, the better the
acquisition process is.
