We tend to think of language as!!a great invention of human cognition!!taught to children!!taught in schools!!a cultural invention!! This is wrong!!!instead, language is an instinctPurdue UniversityCultural influences!! Culture does influence language!! Consider words in English»! Some derived from the invading Normans (1066)(considered sophisticated and polite)»! Some derived from the Anglo-Saxon language of theBritish Isles (considered crude by the invaders)!! Norman: perspiration, dine, deceased, desire, urine,excrement!! Anglo-Saxon: sweat, eat, dead, want, piss, shit!! But this is not what determines our capability tohave language!Purdue UniversityBiology!! Language is a specialized skill ofhuman animals!!Darwin (1871)!! Humans instinctively learn language!!effortless!!unconscious!!procedural knowledgePurdue UniversityLearning!! Like all skills, language needs the properenvironment to be developed!!blinded birds cannot navigate by the stars!!Atlantic Ocean turtles that navigate by magneticfields need to be in the correct ocean!! Language development needs exposure toother people for communication!!but it needs surprisingly less exposure than youmight suspectPurdue UniversityPSY 200: Intro. to Cognitive Psychology 1
