Two Approaches
The natural history of language. How do we learn language? What makes
language possible?
The cultural history language.
Where did English come from? How did all the languages in world evolve, and is there such a
thing as a ‘first’ language?

Poverty of Stimulus
Yeah. It doesn’t help the tree but it
protects, keeps the moisture in. Uh huh.
Because then it just soaks up moisture. It
works by the water molecules adhere to
the carbon moleh, molocures that are in
the ashes. It holds it on. And the plant
takes it away from there.

The Sanscrit language, whatever be its antiquity,
is of a wonderful structure; more perfect than
the Greek, more copious than the Latin, and more
exquisitely refined than either, yet bearing to both
of them a stronger affinity, both in the roots of
verbs and the forms of grammar, than could
possibly have been produced by accident; so
strong indeed, that no philologer could examine
them all three, without believing them to have
sprung from some common source, which,
perhaps, no longer exists; there is a similar
reason, though not quite so forcible, for supposing
that both the Gothic and the Celtic, though
blended with a very different idiom, had the same
origin with the Sanscrit; and the old Persian might
be added to the same family.
