Universal Grammar

The idea that a universal grammar exists that all humans share was conceived by Noam Chomsky, a famous linguists and political writer. This Universal Grammar (UG) was an abstraction of the rules of every human language. Chomsky proposed that since human can so easily learn new languages and switch between them, that there must be a basic set of rules that govern all languages so that our brain can process them. Thus if our brains can process them then so can computers.
