One would have to completely isolate a hearing child from all forms of spoken language for that to happen. The child could not be exposed to hearing and speaking playmates, relatives, television, people talking in stores, movies, radio, and any other way that spoken language is available peripherally. Quite frankly, that is a myth perpetrated by the oralists.
