the debate is over whether the innate cognitive preconditions necessary for learning language are general or language-specific

I recognise that line and I can compare it to gender.

That would be like "innate traits for learning gender or for learning either masculinity or femininity" ? In your opinion?

I was thinking the language debate, there is more than one, would be between thinking language was a side product cognitive abilities of humans or where the trait for language acquisition was innate.

But then the acquisition might be accepted then there is the debate over whether it is a module or distributed.

As I understand it.
