inbuilt language acquisition device (LAD) as forwarded by Noam Chomsky, which explains the ability of infants to learn a language in spite of insufficient information input from the environment. Other theorists propose that the environment that surrounds an individual plays a vital role in language development (Shaffer & Kipp, 2009). According to Genie’s case, language development is influenced by a child’s environment. Genie was locked up in a room where she had minimal contact with the rest of her family, which means she rarely heard them speak or see how they did it. This case highlights the need for the presence of language templates or examples for a child to mimic and focus on in their attempts of developing a language.
The theories put forward by scholars all have some credence as far as language development is concerned. These theories include learning/behaviorist/empiricism theories, biological/nativist/linguistic perspective theories and interactionist theories. The Nataivist theory, which was proposed by Noam Chomsky, asserts that humans have an inbuilt language acquisition device (LAD), which enables children to learn how to talk on their accord. It states that humans are biologically wired to learn a language at a certain time in a certain way. He argues that the input from the environment that is supposed to contribute to language development, in infants, is not sufficient to justify how children learn how to talk solely. It sets out to explain why no learning process alone can account for the rapid acquisition of language witnessed, by infants, and that the only way that is possible, is through an innate linguistic ability. According to this theory, input from the environment activates the LAD, and it does not depend on the magnitude of the input as long there is some input the rest is left to the device, which promotes the development of syntax in a child. The area of the brain concerned with language development is in the left hemisphere, in
