The nature-nurture argument in language learning has yet to be settled. Considering various claims and beliefs on the prominence given to each extreme of nature-nurture continuum, it seems much wiser to take the mid-position and to claim that language both emerges and flourishes out of human disposition and contextualized linguistic environment. One may resolve this nature-nurture controversy and claim that although experience does not account for all language development in humans, it serves as a trigger which catalyzes language growth in humans through stimulating built-in inner capacity.
