Week 6 : Introduction

 'Language' is the most quotidian and natural thing among many things human has. It is so natural that most people can't recognize it. However, think about it-does human have spoken language since they were born or since  the beginnings of human? Well, if we thought more carefully, we could notice that we didn't speak language as soon as we were born. In my case, I speak Korean 11 months after I was born. Then, how can human speak language? Does human speak language by learning or innate ability? It has been very  interesting question in linguistics. There are various theories about it. From now on, I will introduce and compare two theories among those-inborn theory and behaviorism. Then I will conclude my thinking, using comparison of those two theories. I think language is the most important difference between animal and human, and human can speak language by innate ability. As a result, I support my opinion-Parents should make their babies listen many languages since they are young, using the theory.
