چکیده
First language (L1) acquisition studies have evoked a significant deal of research in both linguistic and cognitive science. A relatively good number of studies have been conducted over the past decades to illuminate how L1 or child language acquisition mechanism takes place. Accordingly, the present review aimed at exploring the mechanisms children rely on as they acquire language, how they go through the developmental stages, and how continuity and change go hand in hand in L1 acquisition.
