 Even before the age of 5 children can produce
and interpret sentences that they have never
encountered before
 In other words, Chomsky’s theory is that
language learning is facilitated by a
predisposition that our brains have for certain
structures of language.
•Colourless Green Ideas
Sleep Furiously
•Catherine Snow(1979)
His theory focused on
critical grammatical
explanations.The theory
was mostly about
children being exposed
to a language, there was
no sufficient reference of
interaction between
children and their care
givers.
There is an
innate
language
area in the
brain
responsible
for syntax
processing
Universal grammar theory is
incomplete and currently
cannot account for all of
differences in linguistic
structure
The accuracy of UG’s
prediction about language
universals become worse as
we learn about more
languages
