How does human language arise in the mind? To what extent is it
innate, or something that is learned? How do these factors
interact? The questions surrounding how we acquire language are
some of the most fundamental about what it means to be human and
have long been at the heart of linguistic theory. This book
provides a comprehensive introduction to this fascinating debate,
unravelling the arguments for the roles of nature and nurture in
the knowledge that allows humans to learn and use language. An
interdisciplinary approach is used throughout, allowing the debate
to be examined from philosophical and cognitive perspectives. It is
illustrated with real-life examples and the theory is explained in
a clear, easy-to-read way, making it accessible for students
without a background in linguistics. An accompanying website
contains a glossary, questions for reflection, discussion themes
and project suggestions, to further deepen students understanding
of the material.
