Noam Chomsky is well known for his dissenting theories of linguistics. Chomsky is credited with revolutionizing the field of linguistics and his father taught him some of the historical principles of linguistics. Noam Chomsky’s influences and research on linguistics changed and modernized the discipline. He argues that language acquisition is an innate structure, or function, of the human brain. There are structures of the brain that control the interpretation and production of speech and it was not clear as to how humans acquired language ability; it could be both in its interpretive sense and its production.
Chomsky believes that language development actually begins before birth as the fetus perceives the sounds transmitted to the womb, quiets and alerts to them, and begins to synchronize their movements to the mother's voice and body sounds. He mentioned that language development and growth of cognitive abilities together allow the child to interact with their world in new ways. According to Chomsky, children will go through stages of language around the same age, at the same time. Chomsky believes that it is a very important aspect of language has to do with the establishment of social relations and interactions.
