Week summaries

THIRD WEEK SUMMARY

This week we continue to study the different theories about language and how it develops in ourselves. During the history of language appear the question if we are born with language, or we learn language when we were young.There have been lots of theories to try to explain these topic but it still is a very polemic theme that is still waiting for a fully correct answer. We study Noam Chomsky theory that states that we are born with a sort of universal grammar or language-creating faculty. Also we study Saussure that states that language and Parole are a static system without change that uses signs to work.

This week we were tasked with preparing a debate for the next week, For this we will have to developed some arguments according to the next discussion point: "Humans are born with an ability to create language" vs. "Language is a learnt construct like the rules governing a sport"
