The Effect of Linguistic Models of a Child's Language on His Environment

Abstract

This study used a Critical Discourse Analysis approach to examine the kid dialect differences, focusing on how a child distinguishes, reacts to, and develops their model of speech about their surroundings. This paper aims to explore the concept of academic rewriting and its application in transforming user-generated text. The primary focus of this research is to examine the mechanisms by which a kid perceives and responds to variations in dialect, as well as to explore the process by which the child constructs their linguistic framework to represent their surroundings. The initial phase of language acquisition pertains to the linguistic models that children adopt. In the developmental trajectory of several children, a recurring pattern emerges wherein the sequential influence of individuals is observed as follows: first, parents exert the most influence, followed by peers, and subsequently, adults. The concept of "Peers" as role models may be categorized into four distinct life phases: infancy, childhood, adolescence, and maturity. According to Chambers (1995:151ff).
