There are a multitude of reasons why the learning language process is not an easy and funny cognitive task. Among those I find one is in my opinion the most important reason: a the history which is assigned to associated with every language, whether natural or artificial (like the language of math or some languages of computer programming).
Together with language we acquire not only a particular set of grammar rules, vocabulary and basic structures whose purpose is to generate meaningful sentences, but also, and most importantly, we assimilate the whole history of a given language's evolution, the history of the language's usage, and the history of the relationships of that language due to people who use that particular language. Something what we could call "the interior logic of the language” represents only a language's most intensive external manifestation on the outside of that language's continuous evolution process. of that.
I think I translated it, but I don't understand it. Please stop writing like a typical social scientist. Steven Pinker is a psychologist and linguist who writes English very well.
