Abstract

In the last few years, there has been an increasing emphasis among linguists, psychologists, and educators in the study of how children acquire Chinese. This paper, looking from a linguistic point of view, traces the major studies of acquisition of Chinese done in China and in North America from 1759 to 1979. Emphasis is placed on the early period of linguistic development (up to 3 years of age). It is hoped that this overview can provide some background knowledge to people who are interested in this area.
