Noam Chomsky 언어습득장치




Behaviorism scholar

People study languages by repetitive learning and experience.
Language is an acting of language. So the language is developed by acting that parents' fix their babies' language mistake. Skinner(1957) thought that children tries to speak more standard language through their parents' compliment that enforce their children's language ability.

Noam Chomsky (linguist)

Every babies are born to be a genius of language.
Every people have LAD (Language Acquisition Device) that makes people learn language innately.
Through this machenism, they can distinguish the sound and words of language, also can recognize the arrangement of words and some other grammers.
This LAD is not the real one, this is the device that Chomsky designed to explain his theory.
Also he said there exist UG (Universal Grammer) in all people innately and with UG people can innately acquiring the language not learning.
The innate ability of language develops until 12years old.


2nd week's object(research proposal)

What is my current topic?

 *Currently I wonder how people learn languages. All people learn native language when they are baby, I want to figure out how they so. I will research various thoughts about how people learn language and choose one thought that is similar with mine. That will be my topic of the persuasive essay.

What are my guiding questions?

 *Babies' learning language is innate or acquired? What is the my definition about innate language learning ability and acquired learning language ability? When they can recognize the structure, pattern, rules of language? If their learning language ability is not innate, then what is the most crucial thing for learning languages? What supports can improve the arguments?

 What are my current thoughts?

*I think before people speak perfect language they learn it naturally. Babies hear parents' or someone's speaking and try to copy them. So my point is that babies learn language by teaching. Adn I think there will be some opposite opinion and I will search for it.
