Language is a marvelous thing. Every language 【S1】______ of a limited number of sounds, a limited number of ways in which these sounds can be 【S2】______ to form words, and a limited number of rules for combining words into sentences. For example, English has about 45 sound patterns and about 30 patterns for combining these sounds into sentences. Yet from these limited quantities of sounds and limited number of 【S3】______ and patterns for combining the sounds, a speaker of English can produce an 【S4】______ number of sentences that will be understood by other speakers of English.

There is no such thing as a "primitive" language, meaning an 【S7】______ or rule- deficient (缺乏规则的) language. A highly technological culture and a primitive culture each have a systematic, internally consistent language. Both cultures can discuss concrete things and 【S8】______ ideas. Both cultures can use their languages to gossip (闲谈), to lie, to tell jokes, to tell stories, and to discuss life.
And all human beings of normal hearing and adequate intelligence learn at least one language. Babies who are born deaf and cannot hear language have 【S9】______ learning to speak. (They can, nevertheless, learn another systematic form of language called sign language.) Also, some severely retarded (智力发展迟钝的) children can fail to learn a complete language system. The rest of us, however, learn the basics of our first language by the time we are five years old, a remarkable 【S10】______ .
