Yet once language developed, the possibilities for human kinds’ future 【C3】______  and culture growth increased.
     Many linguists believe that evolution is 【C4】______  for our ability to produce and use language. They 【C5】______  that our highly evolved brain provides us 【C6】______  innate language ability not found in lower 【C7】______  . Proponents of this innateness theory say that our 【C8】______  for language is inborn, but that language itself develops gradually, 【C9】______  a function of the growth of the brain during childhood. Therefore there are critical 【C10】______  times for language development.
      Current 【C11】______  of innateness theory are mixed, however, evidence supporting the existence of some innate abilities is undeniable. 【C12】______  more and more schools arc discovering that foreign languages are best taught in 【C13】______  grades. Young children often can learn several languages by being 【C14】______  to them, while adults have a much harder time learning another language once the 【C15】______  of their first language have been firmly fixed.
     【C16】______  some aspects of language are undeniably innate, language does not develop automatically in a vacuum.  Children who have been 【C17】______  from other human beings do not possess language. This demonstrates that 【C18】______  with other human beings unnecessary for proper language developments.  Some linguists believe that this is even more basic to human language 【C19】______  than any innate capacities. These theories view language as imitative, learned behavior. 【C20】______  , children learn language from their parents by imitating them. Parents gradually shape their child’s language skills by positively reinforcing precise imitations and negatively reinforcing imprecise ones. [br] 【C14】
