Priori Charateristic of Language

For a huge majority of practitioners of this approach—researchers in the tradition of generative grammar associated with Chomsky—this means postulating universals of human linguistic structure, unlearned but tacitly known, that permit and assist children to acquire human languages. This generative Essentialism has a preference for finding surprising characteristics of languages that cannot be inferred from the data of usage, and are not predictable from human cognition or the requirements of communication.

Translation:

對於絕大多數採取此方法的學者而言——即沿襲喬姆斯基所提出的生成語法傳統的研究者——這意味著假設人類語言結構中某些未經學習但卻被默識知曉的普遍性,這些普遍性使兒童能夠習得人類語言。這種生成本質主義傾向於發現語言中那些無法從使用數據中推導、也無法從人類認知或溝通需求中預測的驚人特徵。

Comment:

This imply a general influence of the Logos to human beings.
