Chapter I Introduction
1.1 Why study language?
Language is an integral part of our life and humanity. (details)
Yet we know little or even have even wrong ideas about language.
·Where does language come from? How? When?
·Why is language human-specific?
·Why can a child learn his/her mother tongue in a short period of time?
·How can we say one thing but mean another?
·Language has a form-meaning correspondence.

The pooh-pooh theory: instinctive cries out of intense em
