    1. Environmental supports for language development are present in the interaction pallerns found in conversations, such as listening, responding to what has been said, repeating for clarification, and asking questions

      I agree the the environment in which a child is in during language development plays a big role within that particular child's development of language. If children are in a busy, loud environment and have ADHD, it might be harder for that particular child to listen as opposed to a calmer, more quiet environment. Also if children are in an environment where they see adults communicating with one another through language, this could influence that child's development of language. This influence could be positive or negative depending on the environment around the child. If the child experiences good examples of communication then they impact would most likely be more positive in development.

    1. While no one the-ory provides a complete and irref utablc explanation of language development, each theory contributes significant ideas and concepts, which over Lime have clarified our awareness of the ways language develops.

      This aligns with the debate of nature v. nuture, and how it differs for each individual person. There is not one strong theme of nature or nuture in the development of children but rather a mixture of the two. This makes sense that there are several ideas that contribute to language development.
