20.500.12556/DKUM-13964 Language as an activity in comparison with language as an instinct (Tomasello and Pinker) Jezik kot aktivnost v primerjavi z jezikom kot instinkt (Tomasello in Pinker) Language is a system. A system with a set of different rules. Language is something that makes us different from other animals. There exist many different theories about how language developed. In my diploma I write about two opposite theories. The first theory is that language developed in human collaborative activities. In contrast, the second theory says that language is innate and is considered to be an instinct. In my opinion the first theory is more probable. Humans have developed language during work, they realized that work can be done faster in collaboration. In order to collaborate, humans needed to develop communication. First it was just pointing and pantomiming, but eventually language occurred. The second theory is also very interesting. It is also convincing if we do not take it literally. Language as an instinct represents the idea that language is innate. We have predispositions to learn language and that language is an instinct. The great apes cannot learn language because they do not have the language instinct. Both theories agree that if a child wants to learn a language he or she must be surrounded with parents or adults who speak the language. If a child is put in isolation then he or she does not learn the language. Language can develop and change basically very quickly. Jezik je sistem. Sistem z različnimi pravili. Jezik je tisti, ki nas loči od ostalih živali. Obstaja več različnih teorij, kako se je jezik razvil. V moji diplomi pišem o dveh nasprotnih teorijah jezika. Prva teorija pravi, da se je jezik razvil v aktivnostih, kjer so ljudje sodelovali. Kot nasprotje pa druga teorija meni, da je jezik notranji in da je jezik instinkt. Mislim, da je bolj verjetna prva teorija. Jezik so razvili ljudje med delom. Spoznali so, da je delo opravljeno hitreje in učinkoviteje, če si med seboj pomagajo in sodelujejo. Da pa bi si lahko pomagali in sodelovali, so morali začeti komunicirati. Komunikacija se je najprej razvila s kazanjem in s pantomimo in šele na to se je razvil jezik. Toda zanimiva je tudi druga teorija. Njenega dejstva, da je jezik instinkt, ne smemo jemati dobesedno. S tem, ko avtor pravi, da je jezik instinkt, pravzaprav meni, da je jezik notranji, da je neka notranja lastnost in sposobnost, ki je v nas. Torej imamo predispozicijo za učenje jezika. Gorile, opice in šimpanzi se ne morejo naučiti jezika, ker nimajo te predispozicije, nimajo jezikovnega instinkta. Obe teoriji pa se strinjata, da se otrok, če je v osami, če je izoliran od sveta, ne more naučiti jezika. Otrok se jezika torej lahko nauči, če so okoli njega prisotni starši ali pa drugi odrasli ljudje, ki znajo jezik. Jezik se razvija in spreminja zelo hitro. jezik komunikacija sodelovanje razvoj jezika sprememba jezika. language communication collaboration development of language language change. true true false [U.
