A personal enquiry into language, with Jonathan Miller.
Doing What Comes Naturally. Most parents remember the moment when their baby produced its first recognisable word. From then on, language growth is astonishingly rapid and, apparently, effortless.
Why is acquiring a first language so easy, when learning a second is so difficult? Jonathan Miller argues that it's almost as if humans are born knowing something about language, long before knowing which particular one will be spoken. A John McGreevy/Primedia production for BBCtv
