According to Chomsky, humans have a _______ to develop language. 

Noam Chomsky, known as the father of modern linguistics, has made a crucial contribution in the field of linguistics.

Key Points

• According to Chomsky, an innate capacity to acquire language is the result of our uniquely human biological inheritance which is called the 'Language Acquisition Device'.
• He put forth the innate proposition or biological predisposition of the development of language. This knowledge is given to them by nature - the rules that govern language are part of a biologically based human language faculty.
• Language acquisition device is a hypothetical tool in a child's brain that makes learners able to:
  • acquire and produce language.
  • learn and assimilate the language easily.
  • analyze language and extract basic rules.
  • encode the grammatical structure of language.

Hence, according to Chomsky, humans have a biological predisposition to develop language. 

Hint

• Learning set: "Developing an individual's mental abilities for solving discriminative learning processes typically comes from learning sets.
• Perceptual set: It is the tendency to interpret things in certain ways based on previous experiences.
