In the book 'How children think + learn' (1998), an argument was created on the idea that children are not taught to speak from Chomsky's theory. A question asked do they learn through imitation or 'acquire their mothers tongue'? A difference in language is accents and although people may think that a specific accent is better than another there is no real justification to show that specific accents are better or worse. Languages are not taught in schools but picked up gradually over every day social contact,different language and new customs have been blended over time to form British culture and English language.
