Linguist Noam Chomsky maintains that the human brain has an innate language faculty, & that part of this biological endowment is a universal grammar, a theory of principles common to all languages.

Thus, all human languages & the ways in which children learn them are remarkably similar.

Chomskys book Syntactic Structures was a turning-point in 20th-century linguistics, challenging assumptions in many areas such as philosophy, psychology & intellectual history. Heir to the Enlightenment tradition, Chomsky has introduced new perspectives on language, the creative individual & the nature of human freedom in society.
