Some natural languages have become naturally " standardized " by children's natural tendency to correct for illogical grammar structures in their parents ' language, which can be seen in the development of pidgin languages into creole languages ( as explained by Steven Pinker in The Language Instinct ), but this is not the case in many languages, including constructed languages such as Esperanto, where strict rules are in place as an attempt to consciously remove such irregularities.

Steven Pinker in The Language Instinct ridiculed this example, claiming that this was a failing of human insight rather than language.

For example, Steven Pinker argues in his book The Language Instinct that thought is independent of language, that language is itself meaningless in any fundamental way to human thought, and that human beings do not even think in " natural " language, i. e. any language that we actually communicate in ; rather, we think in a meta-language, preceding any natural language, called " mentalese.
