The specific conjecture is that we all begin with universal grammar (UG), the one language, as it were.

UG is innate and is informed in the sense that it encodes certain options or parameters which are set by exposure to certain data.

To acquire a language is to acquire a particular

systematic mapping between sound and

meaning.

Plato's problem is the term given by Noam

Chomsky to the gap between knowledge and

experience.

Begin = ULK

Gap: K-E
