Two Theories We hear language all the time, from everyone around us How do we figure out the rules? David ate the nachos. Noun verb object. Grammar rules Do we listen to others and figure it out or do we have a special language center in the brain?

Nativist Theory – Noam Chomsky Just hearing language is not enough. We learn language despite incomplete info from our environment Some aspects of people are innate (inside all of us) Not all knowledge is gained from the senses We have a structure in our minds as soon as we are born We understand cause and effect, we avoid high places and hot objects People have a LAD (Language Acquisition Device) Something you’re born with – the structure to learn Instinctual – we don’t get direct instruction in language

Empiricist Theory Knowledge comes from sensory input we experience Emphasize evidence and scientific method Tabula Rasa We start off as “blank slates” Parents and caregivers adopt Child Directed Speech (CDS) Social-Interactionist Theory We learn language as well as our caregivers interact with us. The process of hearing and trying to speak back is how we learn

Nativism vs. Empiricism Which theory sounds right to you?
