Title: A Question on Language Acquisition
Submitter: Tony Deng
Description: Why is it that behavioristic theories can account sufficiently well for the
earliest utterances of the child, but not for utterances at the sentence
and discourse level? Do nativistic and functional approaches provide the
necessary tools for accounting for those later, more complex utterances?
