It refers to the language that a child is exposed to in their environment. This includes the language spoken by their caregivers, as well as any other language input they receive through media, social interactions, or other sources. It is crucial for language acquisition as children use it to build their linguistic knowledge and skills.

Behaviorism
Connectionism
Interactionism
Nativism
It is a concept in linguistics that suggests that there is a set of innate linguistic principles and rules that underlie all human languages, and that children are born with the ability to acquire these principles and rules.
