Human Language, Part Two: Acquiring the Human Language--Playing the Language Game*
- 1995 ----- color ----- 55 min ----- vhs
- How do children "acquire" language--seemingly without being taught? Do they "inherit grammar?" Astonishing experiments show that children know grammar long before they can tie their shoes. Do we learn language by imitating our parents? Linguists say no. It's the imitation theory versus the innateness theory. We are all born knowing an essential something. A system. Three-year-olds are seen as geniuses who don't learn language. They just do it. (Closed-Captioned) (Restricted to use on University of Washington campuses only)
- Topics: (Anthropology: Cultural, Education, English, Linguistics, Speech and Hearing Sciences, Speech Communications)
