Noam Chomsky reasoned that
in early childhood, rewards and punishments support language development.
young children are unable to assume much responsibility for their own language learning.
the rules for sentence organization are too complex to be directly taught to cognitively sophisticated young children.
language, like any other behavior, is acquired through imitation and operant conditioning.
Chomsky’s language acquisition device (LAD) refers to
instructional techniques for children with speech and language delays.
speech programs that parents can use to teach their children grammatical rules.
computer programs that attempt to generate the linguistic rules that are needed for language acquisition.
an innate system that permits children to combine words into grammatically consistent, novel utterances.
Based on her experience with young infants, Maria, a child-care worker, wonders if children are born with a built-in storehouse of rules that are common to all human languages. Maria is pondering the concept of
linguistic expansions.
infant-directed speech.
private speech.
universal grammar.
According to the nativist perspective, children master the structure of language
only with deliberate training from parents
spontaneously, with only limited language exposure.
at different rates, depending on their native language.
quickly, but only in its simplest forms; more complicated forms come much later.
With extensive training, dolphins and parrots can acquire a vocabulary and respond to short, novel sentences,
although they do so less consistently than a preschool child.
but only chimps can be taught to produce strings of three or more symbols that conform to a rule-based structure.

proves that chimps are capable of communicating basic needs, but nothing else.
