Detailed explanation-1: -According to Chomsky, the ability to learn languages is an innate skill. Children are born with a language learning tool that he called a language acquisition device . A language acquisition device is a theoretical tool. It is used to explain how children learn and understand language quickly.
Detailed explanation-2: -Chomsky concluded that children must have an inborn faculty for language acquisition. According to this theory, the process is biologically determined-the human species has evolved a brain whose neural circuits contain linguistic information at birth.
Detailed explanation-3: -A Language Acquisition Device (LAD) is a hypothetical tool in the human brain that lets children learn and understand language quickly. A theory developed by Noam Chomsky who believed that every child has a Language Acquisition Device.
Detailed explanation-4: -Chomsky based his theory on the idea that all languages contain similar structures and rules (a universal grammar), and the fact that children everywhere acquire language the same way, and without much effort, seems to indicate that we’re born wired with the basics already present in our brains.
