In acquiring properties of language: phonological, semantic and syntactic knowledge, children have acquired metalinguistic awareness. Two visible ways in which children demonstrate their metalinguistic awareness are through creating humorous utterance and using figurative utterance. The development of metalinguistic skill follows the acquisition of linguistic knowledge. In addition, it is undoubtedly linked to the advance in cognition. Second language study is also a process of object language's metalinguistic acquisition.
