Do NOT copy and paste things directly from the reading or from another source.Copy and paste each question and type your answer below it. Each answer should be at least a paragraph in length (4-6 sentences, minimum). *Remember, you can always write more, and in most cases you may want to in order to clearly explain your answer.1. What perspective dominated psychology’s understanding of language development before Chomsky came along? And, how did Chomsky’s theory deviate from previous theories of language? (Refer to the Chomsky chapter 17 in our textbook, the ppt., and the Chomsky reading to help you answer this question.)2. Does Noam Chomsky support John Locke’s idea of the tabula rasa when it comes to language acquisition? Why or Why not? Please provide specific information from the Ch. 17ppt. in defense of your answer.3. What did enslaved children on plantations centuries ago do concerning language? And, what is the key difference between pidgin language and creole language (from the reading)? 4. How does the story of these plantation children support Chomsky’s idea of innate (universal) grammar? Please be specific and incorporate ppt. and/or Chapter 17 material in your answer.Important: This Discussion Board post should be posted in the Discussions section of our class in Canvas no later than Thursday March 19th by 8pm (CST-central standard time).
