    Grammar and
    Second
    language
    Learning
    By Muhammad holdhon
    What is universal grammar?
    A typical way in to the Chomskyan
    position is through a simple conundrum
    (Baker 1979): an adult native speaker of a
    language knows things he could not have
    learnt from the samples of speech he has
    heard; since this knowledge is not based
    on his experience of the world, it must
    come from some property inside his own
    mind.
    To acquire language need
     Positive
    evidence
     Negative evidence
    how can a speaker of a second
    language know things he could not
    have learnt from the language he
    has encountered?

     1. Is the programme that is on television any good?

     2. Is the programme that on television is good?
