Question

In first language acquisition what are the stage of learning negation ?

Answer 1

WILL POWER ATTITUDE AND PERSEVERENCE

Answer 2

It depends upon which theorist you believe. Here is what Lois Bloom believes:

Lois Bloom’s study (1978) – four stages

Stage 1: ‘no’ – e.g., “No go”. “No cookie.”

Stage 2: subject + no – e.g., “Daddy no comb hair.”

Stage 3: auxiliary or modal verbs (do/can) + not  

(Yet no variations for different persons or tenses)            

e.g., “I can’t do it “, “He don’t want it.”

Stage 4: correct form of auxiliary verbs (did/doesn’t/is/are) + not

e.g., He didn’t go. She doesn’t want it.

But sometimes double negatives are used

e.g., I don’t have no more candies.

I hope this helps you.
