Question

The idea of the language acquisition device supports the role of ________ in language development. Question 6 options: a) genetics b) nurture c) nature d) an interaction between nature and nurture

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option d) an interaction between nature and nurture.

Explanation:

This idea is supported by the interaction between nature and nurture. This means that all our genetically acquired aspects such as genes, inherited physical characteristics, etc. work together with the environment in which we grow, the relationship we observe in our family, the people with whom we interact and the environment in we were raised.

Both concepts interacting with each other form what is known as a language acquisition device.

Here it is established that all children are born with the ability to learn language and reproduce it through what they observe around them.

Be it the way your parents speak, the friends around you and anything in the environment that can influence this aspect.
