Are you trying to get us to answer a homework question?

Not to give too long of an answer, the jury's still out on this one for second language acquisition. If you are talking about first language acquisition, the answer is pretty clearly no.

Let us know more about along what lines you are thinking, and I'll give you more information. You can e-mail me using Y!A if you want.

Sure. That's why US babies grow up talking English and French babies talk French.
