This view continues the development of philosophical ideas about the innate nature of knowledge, but establish a new understanding of innateness, becoming one of the modern theories of nativism. The aim of this article is to identify the distinctive features and similarities of the principle in the theory and the theory of innate ideas developed in philosophical discussions; to determine what is the novelty of applying the principle to a linguistic concept and to formulate which features in the interpretation of innate knowledge become the basis for the entry of universal grammar into the class of theories of nativism. Unlike classical philosophical interpretations, Chomsky's theory applies the innateness principle exclusively to linguistic capacity, conceptualizing it as a program that constrains possible language variations through universal linguistic principles interacting with individual experience. The study demonstrates that key characteristics - including the specialized nature of the innate mechanism and the search for neurobiological correlates of linguistic competence - justify categorizing Universal Grammar as a nativist theory. The analysis reveals that while Chomsky's focus on linguistic competence provides a conceptual framework for explaining language acquisition, it leaves unresolved crucial questions about how meaning is assigned to specific linguistic expressions in individual cognition</span></em></p> |
