The paper first gives a brief overview of the language acquisition phenomenon, the kind of questions that have been asked by linguists, and then moves on to the theories, describing with detail the dynamics of all four of them.
Sometimes a word or phrase appears to be a verb when, in fact, itâs something else. Itâs important to look at the function that a word or phrase plays in a sentence before determining its part of speech. A gerund is a verb form that ends in -ing. A gerund phrase includes the gerund, plus any modifiers and complements. Gerunds and gerund phrases always function as nouns. They can act as subjects, direct objects, indirect objects, predicate nominatives, or objects of a preposition in a sentence. To determine whether a word or phrase is functioning as a gerund versus a present participle, try replacing it with the word something. If something works in the sentence, then the word or phrase is a gerund. Climbing is not as easy as it looks. (Climbing is the gerund. It acts as a subject in the sentence.)
Dasein is a German word and is sometimes translated as being-there or being-here (da combines in its meaning here and there, excluding the spatial-relational distinction made by the English words; Sein is the infinitive, to be).eidegger, after Nietzsche, used the word, but as a gerund synonym for human being or human entity.. A Dasein is then a new coinage for a being that is there, in a familiar world, and in a mood. Dasein also has unique capacities for language, intersubjective communication, and detached reasoning.
