Compare and contrast the Learning Theory Approach (nurture) and Chomsky’s NativistApproach (nature) to language development. 

 Compare and contrast the Learning Theory Approach (nurture) and Chomsky’s NativistApproach (nature) to language development.  Discuss the “pros and cons” of each approach.   Include in your discussion whether or not you believe basic language is universal and genetic, or socially learned.  Would you suggest one of these is the best explanation of language development, or would you choose an “Interactionist” (combined) approach?  Explain your answer.
