Summary/Abstract: Learning of the mother tongue is a fascinating process, which is investigated on the basis of various linguistic theories. The description of the human mental grammar delivered by Generative Theory allows for a very detailed investigation into the phenomenon. The present article describes the development of functional categories in the acquisition of German and Polish as first language. A comparison of the process in both languages supports the hypothesis explaining the first language acquisition in terms of a gradual development of the language structure in a child’s mind.
