Some researchers in language acquisition have advocated in favor of a paradigm known as "parameter setting". Mark the option that best defines this paradigm.

Small children initially attempt to get the beginning of words right in order to help their hearers understand what they are talking about.

Children are born with "default settings" so that they can tell languages apart: while acquiring language, they gradually detect the parameter settings for their mother tongue.

Children start language acquisition from zero, as John Locke's concept of tabula rasa suggests.

Children's linguistic development depends intrinsically on the observance of adult speech and on the context where they engage discursively in everyday interactions.

Children merely absorb linguistic patterns they are exposed to, while paying attention to the linguistic context in which they appear.
