Yes, second language acquisition is fundamentally different from first language acquisition. In first language acquisition, children acquire language naturally and effortlessly through exposure and interaction with their environment. In second language acquisition, however, learners are consciously and intentionally acquiring a new language, often in an instructional setting, which involves different cognitive processes and strategies.
Neurolinguistics focuses on how the brain processes language and how language affects the brain. Psycholinguistics studies the mental processes involved in language comprehension, production, and acquisition. While neurolinguistics investigates the neural basis of language, psycholinguistics examines the cognitive mechanisms underlying language use.
First language acquisition is the process by which infants and young children learn their native language naturally through exposure and interaction with speakers around them. Second language learning, on the other hand, is the process of acquiring a new language after the first language is already established, often through formal instruction or immersion in a second language environment. Second language learning typically involves more conscious effort and cognitive processing compared to first language acquisition.
The linguistic perspective on Second Language Teaching focuses on how language is learned and how second languages differ from first languages in terms of acquisition. This perspective emphasizes the importance of grammar, phonetics, semantics, and pragmatics in language learning and teaching. It also considers factors such as comprehensible input, language transfer, and interlanguage development in second language acquisition.
I think it is when you learn a second language. Like, if you speak English as your first language, then learn to speak Spanish fluently, you acquired Spanish as your second language.
