THEORIES

Linguistic theory
• the principles underlying the structure of language are biologically determined in the human mind and hence genetically transmitted
• Everybody has the same underlying linguistic structure
![Page 16: AVRAM NOAM CHOMSKY. Linguistics itself is a discipline of cognitive psychology and strives to understand how language is learned and used by children.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649da65503460f94a91a1b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Syntactic Structures
• challenges structural linguistics and introduces transformational grammar.

Universal grammar
(lack of LAD)
• LAD ( languaje acquisition device)
• UG (universal grammar)
![Page 19: AVRAM NOAM CHOMSKY. Linguistics itself is a discipline of cognitive psychology and strives to understand how language is learned and used by children.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649da65503460f94a91a1b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• the strongest evidence for the existence of Universal Grammar is simply the fact that children successfully acquire their native languages in so little time

LAD
• The precise form of language must be acquired through exposure to a speech community.
• Words are definitely not inbron, but the capacity to acquire language and use it creatively seems to be inborn.
