Abstract
When we talk about I-language and E-language, we are talking about confronting rationality and environment, or about innateness or originality, language acquisition, and learning, or about the evolution of man as a unique creature at its peak. In terms of I-language and E- language, there are many facts and scientific efforts, and several schools and scientific movements have emerged, Structuralism appeared, then came the behavioral theory, and then the generative theory came to confront it later. On this basis, several theories of language acquisition have been developed, and these theories will be discussed in this paper.
