Which one of the following statements is consistent with a functionalist view of language development?
◦ "From a very early age, children are motivated to learn how to speak, because speech enables them to interact with other people and, ultimately, to get what they want."
◦ "Although children can learn the specific vocabulary and syntax of their native language only by hearing the people around them speak it, they seem to have some built-in knowledge of the form that any language should take."
◦ "To foster children's language development, parents and other adults praise them first for making speech like sounds ('Da-da'), later for saying recognizable words ('More!'), and still later for forming understandable sentences ('Can I have candy?')."
◦ "Children initially use language primarily in their interactions with other people, but increasingly they also use it to help them think more effectively."
