How do nouns and verbs inflect children in their development? We combined some researchers and scientists' opinions and researches in this field. Several explanations have given to see and understand differences in use of nouns and verbs by children in different stages of their development. How children begin to communicate from their early childhood. What is the role of parents in their children's speech, especially mother's influence in first language acquisition and of course what is a teacher's role in second language acquisition. Through which stages passes a child until he/she produces correctly nouns and verbs. I tried to explain how and why nouns are learned before verbs and what does scientist say about this. I shared some of my experiences that I had as a parent in my private life in first language acquisition and as a teacher in a school with my students in second language acquisition. Key words: child`s development, language acquisition, noun, verbs, lexis development 1. Introduction Language is a tool/method of human communication that could be either spoken or written. People begin to learn it from their born, even though they express it in different way. The children do not have any firm, fixed beliefs about language as they acquire it. So far, they do not seem to know what to look for, or what to avoid – though some of this knowledge clearly develops over the course of time. Children are a focus of attention and affection in all societies. The presence of infant is a key to the hearts of strangers anywhere on the globe. ( Thomas Scovel, 1998:7) According to Chomsky, children learn language so efficiently and fast because they know in advance what languages look like. It is seen and proved from our everyday life, that children who learn a new language can learn it easier and faster than adults. This is because their memory and brain is cleaner than adults'. Two types of explanation have been put forward to account for the mysterious nature of language acquisition. First of all, there is Chomsky’s content approach. Secondly, an alternative process approach has been proposed. What is the difference between them? A content approach postulates that a child’s brain naturally contains a considerable amount of specific information about language. A process approach, on the other hand, suggests that children have inbuilt puzzle – solving equipment which enable them to process the linguistic data they come across. (Jean Aitchison; (1998:136) Chomsky’s content approach presupposes that the pre-wired knowledge is specific to language, and is independent of general intelligence. But the process approach comes in two versions, an intelligent Peggy and a linguistic Peggy. The intelligence version, Peggy makes use of the same general cognitive abilities as she would to cope with everything else she comes across in the world. In the linguistic version, her processing mechanisms are geared specifically to language.
