Noam Chomsky’s linguistic research in the 1950s aimed to understand the tools and means through which children acquire language. He proposed a system of principles and parameters that suggested a child’s innate understanding of syntax and semantics. Although controversial among linguists, Chomsky’s theorization revolutionized and reoriented academic approaches to language.
