newborn children, unable to use this 2 tool.Yet once language developed, the possibilities
for human kind?s future 3 and cultural growth increased.
Many linguists believe that evolution is 4 for our ability to produce and use language.They 5 that our highly evolved brain provides us 6 an innate language ability not
found in lower 7 . Proponents of this innateness theory say that our 8 for language is
inborn, but that language itself develops gradually, 9 a function of the growth of the brain during childhood.Therefore there are critical 10 times for language development.
Current 11 of innateness theory are mixed, however, evidence supporting the existence of some innate abilities is undeniable. 12 , more and more schools are

learn several languages by being 14 to them, while adults have a much harder time
learning another language once the 15 of their first language have become firmly fixed.

possess language.This demonstrates that 18 with other human beings isnecessary for
proper language development.Some linguists believe that this is even more basic to
human language 19 than any innate capacities.These theorists view language as imitative,
learned behavior. 20 , children learn language from their parents by imitating
them.Parents gradually shape their child's language skills by positively reinforcing precise imitations and negatively reinforcing imprecise ones.
