Solution

failed
failed
Answer

The answer is interaction.

Explanation
Option 1: Metalinguistic

Metalinguistic awareness refers to the ability to reflect on and manipulate the structural features of language. While important, it does not directly address the social aspects of language development emphasized by Tomasello.

Option 2: Interaction

Michael Tomasello's view of language development is best described as interactional. He argues that young children learn language through social interactions and are highly motivated to communicate and understand others in their social environment. This perspective highlights the importance of social context and interaction in language acquisition.

Option 3: Biological

A biological view of language development focuses on the innate biological mechanisms and genetic factors that enable language learning. While these factors are significant, Tomasello's emphasis is on the social and interactive aspects.

Option 4: Behavioral

A behavioral view of language development emphasizes the role of reinforcement and imitation in learning language. This perspective does not fully capture Tomasello's focus on the social and interactive nature of language learning.
