Which of the following is one of the explanations offered in your text as to why Englishspeaking children use more nouns than verbs when they begin to speak, as compared to children of Chinese or Korean descent?

Chinese and Korean languages are "noun-friendly" languages because the rules of the languages are structured around nouns. The English language contains more nouns than verbs; Korean and Chinese languages contain more verbs than nouns.
