Chromsky's Theory of Language Development - ANSWERS-• Linguist Noam Chomsky's work discusses
the biological basis for language and claims that children have innate abilities to learn language.
• Chomsky terms this innate ability the "language acquisition device."
• He believes children instinctively learn language without any formal instruction.
• Chomsky also believes in the existence of a "universal grammar," which posits that there are certain
grammatical rules all human languages share.
• Noam Chomsky the father of modern linguistics. Universal Grammar (UG) -
1. Babies go through the same stages in development no matter what language they are learning
2. Infants master language way faster than they should if they're a blank slate.
Skinner's Theory of Language Development - ANSWERS-• B. F. Skinner, a well-known behaviorist, held
that language use, like other behaviors, was conditioned or influenced by the responses you receive
from others around you.
• B. F. Skinner believed that children learn language through operant conditioning; in other words,
children receive "rewards" for using language in a functional manner. For example, a child learns to say
,the word "drink" when she is thirsty; she receives something to drink, which reinforces her use of the
word for getting a drink, and thus she will continue to do so.
• This follows the four-term contingency that Skinner believed was the basis of language development:
(1) motivating operations that make a stimulus more or less effective, (2) discriminative stimuli that tend
to evoke a specific response, (3) response to language use, and (4) reinforcing stimuli that provide
positive feedback.
• Skinner also stated that children learn language through three key processes:
1 Imitating others (e.g., seeing a sibling ask for an apple and then asking for one)
2 Prompting from others (e.g., a parent might ask, "Do you want an apple?")
3 Shaping from others (e.g., a parent might affirm and refine a child's response: "Yes, that's a fruit. It's
an apple. Did you want it?") (Lumen Learning, n.d.)
