Abstract
There are some things that human beings naturally do, given the mere opportunity to do so. Walking and talking are the foremost examples of such skills. Babies are not born walking and talking, but by the age of three they usually are doing both. Walking and talking occur naturally in the course of a human being's physical or mental maturation; these abilities are not “taught,” or “learnt” consciously. Similarly, we talk of unconscious language acquisition by the human infant, rather than language learning.
