Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Language is what enables people to articulate things, ideas and attitudes in an intelligible form and to transmit the results to other people. More recently, linguists have recognized the importance of language in identities. Language enables us to express who we think we are and how we are connected with other people.
