CONTIBUTIONS TO LANGUAGE ACQUISITIONS AND 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
Syntactic Structures • challenges structural linguistics and introduces transformational grammar.
Another important contribution • Chomsky says that a formal grammar of a language can explain the ability of a hearerspeaker to produce and interpret an infinite number of utterances.
Universal grammar • LAD ( languaje acquisition device) • UG (universal grammar) (lack of LAD)
• 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.
