    Chomsky’s Universal Grammar
    It was previously thought that children learned to speak from their parents by watching, listening, and repeating. Chomsky theorized acquiring language was not that simple. When speaking there are a number of combinations, elements, tones, and structures that are used. This can greatly affect the way we think about acquiring knowledge.
