Book synopsis

Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, printed single-sided, grade: 1,3, RWTH Aachen University (Institut für Anglistik der RWTH Aachen), course: Proseminar Language Acquisition, language: English, abstract: This term paper deals with Noam Chomsky s Modularity or rather Innateness Hypothesis, particularly with the question if there might be an innate language module in people s minds. To discuss and maybe answer this question, I will first give a short summary of the Modularity Hypothesis as found in works of Chomsky and also of Jerry Fodor. After that, I will summarize Chomsky s theory of innateness, in connection with his belief that there exists a Universal Grammar , which is responsible for people s ability to acquire language.
