Chomsky observed that:
Question 3 options:

a)

all parents reinforce correct use of grammar.

b)

all young children master basic grammar according to a schedule.

c)

some rules of grammar are present in all languages.

d)

all grammar rules are the same across all languages.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

Chomsky's observations have significantly influenced our understanding of language development. Let's analyze the given options:

1. **a) All parents reinforce correct use of grammar**:

  - Chomsky did not specifically make this observation. While parents play a role in language acquisition, their reinforcement of grammar is not a universal rule.

2. **b) All young children master basic grammar according to a schedule**:

  - Chomsky's theory of **Universal Grammar** suggests that certain grammatical structures and rules are innate to all human languages.

  - However, he did not specifically state that all children follow a rigid schedule for mastering grammar.

3. **c) Some rules of grammar are present in all languages**:

  - This aligns with Chomsky's theory. He proposed that there are underlying universal grammar rules shared across languages.

  - These rules form the basis for language development.

4. **d) All grammar rules are the same across all languages**:

  - Chomsky did not assert this. Instead, he emphasized common structural elements (universal grammar) while recognizing surface differences among languages.

Therefore, the correct answer based on Chomsky's observations is **c) Some rules of grammar are present in all languages**. Chomsky's work highlights the existence of shared linguistic principles across diverse languages.
