I advance the hypothesis that the earliest phases of language acquisition - the developmental transition from an initial universal state of language processing to one that is language-specific - requires social interaction. Relating human language learning to a broader set of neurobiological cases of communicative development, I argue that the social brain 'gates' the computational mechanisms involved in human language learning.
