This chapter presents the following arguments: (1) in adults, anomalous language lateralization per se does not entail cognitive deficit; (2) in children, there is neither neuropsychological evidence nor evidence from the ontogeny of asymmetry in normal behavior that validates the concept of developing lateralization; and (3) certain asymmetries in newborn behavior can plausibly be regarded as precursors of cerebral dominance and as indicators of its very early reign in ontogeny. The Merge Hypothesis of Fleg (1987, 2005) points out that “the merging of phonetic properties of phones that are similar in the L1 and L2 can potentially impact not only the acquired language but the native one as well”. 7) First language acquisition is not dependent on intelligence or special ability for languages.
