But learning to speak languages seems to be a very【B3】______ process. For a long time, people thought that we learned a language only by imitation and association. For example, a baby touches a hot pot and starts to cry. The mother says, "Hot, hot! " And the baby, when it stops crying,【B4】______ the mother and says, "Hot, hot!

Because young children can make sentences they have never heard before, Chomsky suggested that human infants【B7】______ the ability to learn language. Chomsky meant that【B8】______ all the differences between public and private languages, there is a universal language 【B9】______ that makes it possible for us, as infants, to learn any language in the world. This theory explains the【B10】______ that human infants have for learning language. But it does not really explain how children come to use language in particular ways.
