Chomsky• Noam Chomsky Abraham, Philadelphia, USA, 1928 - linguist

and philosopher. It was introduced in linguistics by his father, who specializes in historical linguistics of Hebrew.

• He studied at the University of Pennsylvania, a doctorate in 1955 with a thesis on the transformational analysis, drawn from theories Z. Harris, who was a disciple. Then went to join as a teacher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which he has taught since 1961.

Nativist approach

• Nativist approach argues that a mechanism is innate, genetically determined, which directs the development of language. According to Chomsky, people are born with an innate capacity for language, which emerge, more or less automatically, as a result of maturation.

• The word "nativism" and suggests some kind of idea, knowledge or mental content is present at the time that an organism is born, it is not acquired or learned by it.

Universal Grammatical• Noam Chomsky's theory which states that all the world's

languages share a similar basic structure.

• The name he uses for languages that share a similar structure was universal Grammar.

• Según su punto de vista, el cerebro humano cuenta con un sistema nervioso denominado Dispositivo para la adquisición del lenguaje, DAL, que permite la comprensión de la estructura del lenguaje y ofrece un conjunto de estrategias y técnicas para aprender las características particulares del lenguaje al que está expuesto un niño.

Below• The particular case of language, it is remarkable how children

manage to master something as complex in a short time without any systematic instruction. However, all children around their second year of life, fluent start using a system comprising numerous grammatical principles that could not be learned because the data we have about the system itself is clearly insufficient.

• Ósea que los niños tiene la capacidad tener un lenguaje innato que lo van utilizando para adquirir palabras y frases. Pero al ser niños no necesitan un sistema de instrucciones para el lenguajes. Luego que llegan a los dos años hacia delante es que comienzan a utilizar principios gramaticales.
