BEHAVIORIST THEORY:
Question: What do you think is the similarity of language and human
behavior?
Answer: I do not have enough data to articulate a conclusion that manifests
similarity/s between language and human behavior.
NATIVIST THEORY:
Question: Is language innate in all humans?
Answer: Before language was made into this well-defined structure of
representation, we had all this sort of crude, indigenous ways of trying to
describe the world around us. Precisely because of this inherent need for us to
describe the reality around us, to better deal with it, language was conceived.
Thus, language is innate. It is a manifestation of mental prowess to grasp
reality and strangle with it to translate it into a commonality with which we
can base upon our actions that points towards collective, holistic growth.
COGNITIVE THEORY:
Question: How does cognition affect language?
Answer: Whatever schema or mental structure we hold is predefined by the
very reality with which we are living. Moreover, by which we describe reality
we do so with language. Thus, the language that we convey is affected by our
very own cognition.

BEHAVIORIST THEORY:
Question: What do you think is the similarity of language and human
behavior?
Answer: Language and human behavior are both products of cognitive
evolution and development from human experience. they were not present in
the beginning of a person's life, but instead were introduced through an
environment. moreover, they can be broken down into smaller fragments such
as paragraphs, sentences, words, letters, sounds and context for the for the
former and emotions, impulse and expressions for the latter.

NATIVIST THEORY:
Question: Is language innate in all humans?
Answer: Language is not innate in humans, it is acquired. however, man is
structured to have the right tools in order to learn a certain language. most
languages are learned at a crucial stage in childhood. missing this period could
cause difficulty in learning a language or worse, never acquiring it at all
(Heinrich, 2015).

COGNITIVE THEORY:
Question: How does cognition affect language?
Answer: Cognition develops language as language is a cognitive skill. It helps
in the acquiring and actual use of language, its evolution and relevance in a
given time.
