Good distinction, maahey. And Faldage, yes, what you're talking about would definitely fall under acquisition; that's precisely why I posed the idea of infants living on their own: they wouldn't have any examples to learn from. I hadn't really thought about grammar until I read your post (thank you); I think it would be fascinating, were it possible, to see what sort of grammar they developed! Maybe, "Hey! Mine that is!".
