QUESTION 1

1.1.

a. The behaviourists (5):

Behaviourists view language acquisition as a result of the principles of conditioning and reinforcement. According to B.F. Skinner, children acquire language through operant conditioning. They observe and imitate the language they hear, and when their utterances are reinforced by positive responses from caregivers, they are likely to continue using those words or phrases. Skinner argued that the process of language learning is shaped by the frequency and consistency of reinforcement.
