Linguistic Universals Juan Alfredo Zulueta Ventura Professor James Tobin Theories of Languages

Noam Chomsky and Joseph Greenberg EMPIRICISM ¨ Concrete Universal¨ RATIONALISM ¨Abstract Universal¨

Linguistic Universal ¨A linguistic universal is a pattern that occurs systematically across natural languages, potentially true for all of them. For example, All languages have nouns and verbs, or If a language is spoken, it has consonants and vowels.¨

¨The field was largely pioneered by the linguist Joseph Greenberg, who derived a set of forty-five basic universals, mostly dealing with syntax, from a study of some thirty languages.¨

Universal 1

In favor of Greenberg

Chomsky (innate knowledge) On 1 language in detail Abstract Governed by general principals in a natural language UG elements that can be moved
