- Language Acquisition device - babies to produce language
- Chomsky thought that humans are born with structure in their brain that enables them to acquire language.
- He thought that humans have a critical period for initial language development during the first years of life.
- He thought humans all fallow the same pattern of language development.
- He thought that all humans have an innate understanding of the structure of language (universal grammer) this is the basis for all languages (subject, verb, object).
- He didn't think that children where influenced by "adult language"
- He thought that the adult role is not so important as. even if children are correct they will still develop their language in the same way
