The article focuses on how children learn the meaning of words. For long psycholinguistics has tried to answer the question how children learn the meaning of words? Psychologist Paul Bloom argues that the mind does not have a module for language acquisition. Instead, children learn the meaning of words by a set of general cognitive abilities, including the ability to infer intentions, to perceive the world in terms of objects and events, and the ability to understand syntactic structures. Discourse can take the form of conversations by oneself, with others or by others, situated in time and space. In fact, one could argue that children learn--at least in part--words solely by understanding their relation in context.
