The cognitivity development in the language acquisition process

Abstract

This paper present a reflection about the language acquisition processes and cognitive development. Considering this, I intend to develop questions about the levels of intelligence development and its influence on language, according to the Genetic Epistemology of Jean Piaget. It starts with the hypothesis that the cognitive aspects are necessary in linguistic acquisitions, since the cognitive theories assumed an important interface between both. For this reason we intend to analyze and discuss the nature of this interface.
