How do speakers acquire knowledge of language In Chomsky s view a large part of this knowledge is innate a matter of a biological endowment specific to humans. Speakers move from an initial state ofthe language faculty which they share to an attained state which they develop on exposure to the primary linguistic data. The initial state is characterized by the principles of universal grammar a finite set of interactive principles which allow for parametric variation within a certain range. The variety of human languages is explained by the different vocabularies and parameter settings of the universal principles which characterize the attained states of the language faculty in different speakers. Chomsky distinguishes E-language the common notion of languages like Dutch English German which is hopelessly vague and I-language the internal language of an individual speaker-hearer which is the proper object of scientific study.
