Children Are A Unique Language Developing System Than...

Babies do have a unique language developing system than other animals. Basically, animals don t have as many ways of communication as human babies do. However, animals do have ways to communicate. Instead of language, animals use symbols and signs. Some specific animals like dolphins even have the ability to use sonar when they communicate. That is something even people could not do. People now might have the sonar technology with facilities, but that is not something that was born inside us. So animals communicate in the similar way as human using their unique â€Å"language.† They just are not in the same way cause their ways are far simpler than that of human. Like babies, animals also have ways to express emotion and communicate through†¦show more content†¦Besides their own baby language, they also learn about our language, from how we use it to tell them about other things. This means that language learning is going on whenever language is used around children. Environment factors especially television do have a negative impact on child s language development. Given the right conditions, children between the ages of two and five may experience benefits from good-quality educational television. A variety of studies have demonstrated that children who are heavy viewers of television are more likely to be linguistically underdeveloped, although a direct causal relationship has not been established. Children’s consumption of television increases as a result of children’s age, the availability of the television in the home, particular family circumstances (low education of the parents, young parents, low socio-economic status of the family, low IQ and male gender of the child), children’s time spent in the home, caretaker’s positive views on the role of television, and high frequency of parent-child co-viewing of general audience programs. Apparently universal grammar does exist in linguistics. Linguists believe that this â€Å"universal grammar† is innate and is embedded somewhere in the neuronal circuitry of the human brain. That would be why children can select, from all the sentences that come to their minds, only those that conform to a â€Å"deep structure† encoded in the brain’s
