Noam Chomsky, who argues that language is innate. A child doesn’t need to learn language; rather, language grows in the child’s mind. In other words, a child is genetically programmed with a blueprint—a set of process rules and simple procedures that make the acquisition of language inevitable. All of us possess a “language organ”—not something a surgeon can cut out with a knife, but a set of connections in the brain dedicated to language in the same way that parts of the brain are dedicated to vision.
