Theories of Language


Along the History of Humankind, many important scientists have reached to the same question in their heads: "How do we learn language?". In the mind map above, there are 3 theories that could answer this question. The  theories of Steven Pinker and Noam Chomsky go through the same path, but Darwin's chooses another way of answering the question.Personally, I think Charles' theory is the right one, because he proposes that we don't born knowing how to speak, but we do with the desire of learning it. This could be the answer of what tongue you speak. For example, if you have listened all your life to your parents speaking in French, probably you will speak French too.

I'd love to read your personal ideas of this important subject.
