From childhood to old age
锛?/p>
we all use language as a means of broadening our knowledge of
ourselves and the world about us.When humans first 1
锛?/p>
they were like newborn children
锛?/p>
unable to
use this 2tool.Yet once language developed
锛?/p>
the possibilities for human kinds future 3and cultural
growth increased.
Many linguists believe that evolution is 4for our ability to produce and use language.They
5that our highly evolved brain provides us 6an innate language ability not found in lower
7.Proponents of this innateness theory say that our 8for language is inborn
锛?/p>
but that language itself
develops gradually
锛?/p>
9 a function of the growth of the brain during childhood.Therefore there are
critical 10times for language development.
Current 11of innateness theory are mixed
锛?/p>
however
锛?/p>
evidence supporting the existence of
some innate abilities is undeniable.12
锛?/p>
more and more schools are discovering that foreign
languages are best taught in 13grades.Young children often can learn several languages by being
14to them
锛?/p>
while adults have a much harder time learning another language once the 15of their
first language have become firmly fixed.
16 some aspects of language are undeniably innate
锛?/p>
language does not develop automatically
in a vacuum.Children who have been 17from other human beings do not possess language.This
demonstrates that 18with other human beings isnecessary for proper language development.Some
linguists believe that this is even more basic to human language 19than any innate
capacities.These theorists view language as imitative
锛?/p>
learned behavior.20
锛?/p>
children learn language
from their parents by imitating them.Parents gradually shape their child鈥檚 language skills by
positively reinforcing precise imitations and negatively reinforcing imprecise ones.
