Language is a complex multidimensional cognitive system that is connected to many neurocognitive capacities.
The development of language is therefore strongly intertwined with the development of these capacities and
their neurobiological substrates. Consequently, language problems, for example those of children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), are explained by a variety of etiological pathways and each of these
pathways will be associated with specific risk factors. In this review, we attempt to link previously described
factors that may interfere with language development to putative underlying neurobiological mechanisms of
language development, hoping to uncover openings for future therapeutical approaches or interventions that can
help children to optimally develop their language skills.
