Language Acquisition/Consequences of Deprivation
[ send me this paper ]
A 14 page research paper that examines research that pertains to the acquisition of language and the consequences of deprivation. The writer first of all examines the theories of Lenneberg, concerning a sensitive period in speech acquisition, and Chomsky, concerning innate brain structure, in regards to language acquisition and then applies these to the evidence offered by deficits in language skills in feral and abused children who have suffered from linguistic deprivation. The writer argues that examination of the literature shows that the work of Lenneberg and Chomsky is verified by the evidence offered by observations of feral children, that is, children who have missed the sensitive period for language and, therefore, cannot learn language above a rudimentary level.

Language and Abstract Thought: Meaningful Conversation about a God Who Transcends Creation?
[ send me this paper ]

Questions the innateness of language and the applicability of that innateness to the topic of our own creation and the existence of God. Compares language in animals and mankind and concludes there are definitive differences in the ability of the two to have meaningful conversations about such highly abstract concepts as God and His existence. It is the ability to translate our mental experiences into words which gives humans the capability of abstract thought and allows us to have meaningful philosophic conversation about God even though God transcends creation.
