    Chomsky’s Theory Chomsky believes that children are born with an inherited ability to learn any of the human languages. He thinks that certain linguistic structures that children use so accurately‚ must have already stuck in their mind. Chomsky believes that every child has a ‘language acquisition device’ or LAD.
