It has been argued for centuries whether people inherit language through nature, or learns it through nurture. Most psychologists believe that people learn language through the environment, which is surrounding them. However, some believe people inherit the capacity and mental program genetically to learn language. Not only people but also animals can learn language as well by using sign languages. Also language can be differentiated by gender and culture. Through the studies of psychologists, it is believed that language is obtained through both of nature, and nurture.
