Amalia's 17-month-old son has an extensive vocabulary and can create both two- and three-word combinations. The view of language would suggest that Amalia repeated words and reinforced her son's attempts at language.

Behaviorist

Explanation:

The behaviorist view of language asserts that a child learns a particular language through imitation, practice, and rewards. This theory lays emphasis on 'human role models' as a key factor in the child's acquisition of the language as he/she attempts to imitate the speech patterns of the people around him while their admiration or praise comes in the form rewards which stimulates the child to get more involved into learning the language. In the given example, Amalia's son's strong vocabulary as a 17-month old child exemplifies that he has learned through the imitation of the speech patterns of the people(human models) around him. His constant practice and rewards(in the form of praise) have enabled him this ability. Therefore, 'behaviorist' view is the answer.

  plan: i will begin with a quotation about the importance of unity in a community. then, i will state my claim that an activity will unite our school by creating a shared vision, purpose, and direction. in the body, i will use three main points that describe the different avenues the students can take: through a variety of clubs, through a special event, or through an awareness week. i will provide evidence about other towns that have unity activities and the kinds of events that they include. pictures will illustrate my three main points in action. for the ending, i will restate the main idea in a new way and pose a question to keep the audience thinking.
