Horizon Notes:

Name of particular gene:

FOX P2

The FOXP2 transcript was found to be expressed throughout the human body during early development, especially in the brain. The protein encoded by the FOX P2 gene has also been located in a number of species in addition to humans. 

Within this gene, our ability to speak is made up in our DNA. And as a result of this discovery, it shows as a great amount of evidence that can back up Chomski's theory, which shows that we are born with Language Acquisition Device. He further claims that children must be stimulated in order to speak, it is not nature, nor is it nurture, it is both.

In terms of corrections, a person must never say that a child's syntactic structure and grammatical sentences are incorrect or a mistake, you must always refer it as an error within the particular grammar. 
~This idea that language develops consciously happens over a period of time, according to certain theorists. Furthermore, language articulates unconsciously in a simple way.
