These link's explain the child language acquisition, many tests and methods have been used to try and discover why and how we learned to speak. In the clip they said language defines us as humans, and the way each individual speaks and how peoples language each other. In the clip it shows that children learn language with minimal effort and learn in a natural process as they grow up through each stage in their life. The clips also talk about certain theorists that have discovered new ways in how we learn to speak, Lenon burg is one theorist, he said that if a child is not surrounded by language for a specific amount of time there language wont develop. In the clip they realise that how we learn to speak is still a mystery.
The main theorists in the clip is Deb Roy who is a scientist and discovered how children speak. Most of the investigations were through speak home projects, as they helped understand more clearly why and how children learn to speak. From doing the investigations and tests they discovered, that the children started with babbling to single words, they also discovered that complex grammatical stages occur as the child grows up. The clip also showed that the parents influence the child a lot, creating positive re-enforcement. Once the child's language is gradually developing the parents start to use longer sentences. In the clip it shows that the parents simplify their speech, elongating the pauses between words. They talk about 'parent convergent' and ' diverge' meaning the child is excluded. They called it 'parentese'. They listen to ontonation with children and animals, at first their phonological awareness out slips their semantic awareness.

This clip shows and explains the human brain, and which parts are used to help speak and learn, the front part of the brain is where the 'word retrieval' is kept. All of this is pointing towards an innate language meaning its all the mechanics needed to speak. A test is carried out in the clip, a professor who analyses a new born baby, he makes the new born listen to different voices, one was a mother, a voice from a computer and a strangers voice. The investigation discovered that the baby responded mostly to the mothers voice and showed the most interactivity. Facts and figures were also included examples were that sign language is just one of 6000 languages.

Noam Chomsky is known as the 'god father of linguistics' and uses a language device called 'LAD' this can relate to the research shown in the video clips. The clip talks about sentence, structure, meaning and sounds. This also contains the forbidden experiment which means they isolate the child or animal that they are investigating. Chomsky's
