Ontogeny

个体发生

The application of this general term in linguistics refers to the chronological acquisition, development and decay of language in the individual, as opposed to in the speech community as a whole (phylogeny). Ontogenetic notions are particularly encountered in child language studies.

语言学术语，指个人语言按年月顺序的习得、发展和消退，与整个言语社会的语言发生（群体发生）相对立。这一术语主要见于儿童语言研究。
