The Language Instinct (Noam Chomsky)

Certainly! "The Language Instinct," by Noam Chomsky, argues that humans are naturally equipped with an innate ability to acquire language. He suggests that, unlike other skills learned through experience, language development is biologically hardwired into our brains. This "instinct" allows children worldwide to rapidly and effortlessly learn complex languages through exposure, without formal teaching. Chomsky’s idea challenges the belief that language is solely learned through environment; instead, he proposes that our capacity for language is an inherited trait unique to humans.
