Question 1: How does child language acquisition reflect something we've learned about the properties of language which are complex, categorical, productive and it is naturally acquired by children?

Question 2: How does child language acquisition illustrate the difference between grammaticality and meaning?

Question 2: How does child language acquisition reflect something we've learned about morphology?

Question 3: How does child language acquisition reflect something we've learned about phonetics and phonology?
