  • Description: Chomsky's theory of language not only revolutionized linguistics, it also changed the way developmental psychologists approached the study of language. A central claim put forward by Chomsky [1965] was that children learn language largely independent of how they come to solve other mental problems. Budwig believes that Michael Tomasello's book, Constructing a Language: A Usage-Based Theory of Language Acquisition, challenges such an assumption. His argument concerning language development draws upon modern-day cognitive and functional linguistics rather than generative grammar, and consequently adopts a view of language that makes language learning central to developmental processes.
