Which views of B. F. Skinner and Noam Chomsky on language acquisition and the “nature-nurture” debate of human language capacity was more accurate? Why?

Nobel Prize-winning linguist Noam Chomsky and behavior analyst B. F. Skinner have long been in disagreement over the nature of human language acquisition and its relationship with the ‘nature-nurture’ debate. Both theorists have presented influential theories on how humans acquire and use language, although their approaches differ significantly in many respects. This essay will discuss which of these views is more accurate when it comes to understanding the role of nature versus nurture in acquiring language and why this view is more supported by current research findings.
