汉语语境:

环境变量是影响语言习得的重要因素之一。通过对狼孩的个案研究和分析，证明语言输入是儿童语言正常发展的前提。对保姆式语言的相关研究和实验研究表明，保姆式语言中的某些方面对儿童语言习得产生影响，但另外一些方面则不会随环境因素变化而变化。而对于关键期是否存在这一问题的探讨，有助于我们深入了解语言知识在大脑内部的组织方式以及语言输入的最佳时间。

英语语境:

Among many factors influencing language acquisition, environmental factors are the essential ones. Studies of feral children indicate that gross environmental neglect or abuse may retard language acquisition, which proves that language input is the prerequisite of normal language development. And studies according to correlational and experimental approach show that language development is only partially affected by motherese. The question whether the critical period exists or not concerns the discussion about the optimal period for language input.
