Theory:
- Deb Roy set up his house as a lad to record his childs language until he was three
- Dr Kathy Price - key elements in the brain that have language use - born with it?
- Noam Chomsky (godfather of linguistics)
- despite decades of research, how we learnt to talk remains a mystery
- Fox p2 is innate as its in the genes
- parents simplify their language to suit the child (as they develop sentences so do the parents) (convergence)
- care giver language
- all animals would have the ability to talk
- picking up sounds whilst in the womb - recognise mums voice/tone
- innate ability for language - born with the ability to speak
- L.A.D - language acquisition device
- we all have blueprints to language but need to be exposed to it early on
- children learnt to speak with minimal effort
