Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adult language development is influenced by various factors, but the most significant one is the level of education and social and occupational roles. People who frequently engage in intellectual conversations, read extensively, and participate in social and professional events that require communication skill development tend to have more advanced language abilities. In contrast, those who have limited opportunities to practice their language skills may experience a decline in linguistic ability as they age. Gender and voice quality are not directly related to language development during adulthood, and geographical location may affect linguistic variations but does not significantly impact language development itself.
