    The article is divided into sub topics like Biological Preconditions, Environmenta  Influences , Social Preconditions, Phonological Development , Semantic Development, Grammatical development , Pragmatic Development , Theoretical frameworks  of language development .

   There are four major theories of language development.  The behaviourist theory, the nativist theory, the Empericist's theory and the Interactionist's perspective.

   There is no longer any doubt among linguists and child psychologists that language acquisition is an elaborate and completely not a uniform type of study,  The social interactionists maintain that language is acquired from cues in the environment given by parents ,peers and other members of society.  She concludes by telling that Theoritically there is also ample basis for a well-defined sequential bias for semantic relations within early language acquisition.

    The article is a very simple and informative one in the field of Child Language Acquisiton.
