Have you ever heard of the "Critical Period Hypothesis"? Studies have suggested that children who are enver exposed to language before a certain age, are actually incapable of ever developing language skills, and thus the "critical period" is the make-or-break time at which a child must have been exposed to language. I'm wondering if music could supplement this: If a child is never exposed to language as we know it, but is exposed to music, if sie would still be able to develop language skills well after this critical period.

Just a thought.

Also, my CAPTCHA is "mouedleu".
