Chomsky's cartesian linguistics conception

In this study, Chomsky's Cartesian linguistics conception; namely, the a priori direction of the language on analysing the points is the pivotal subject. The place of the idea of the Innatism of language in the philosophy of language, and how it is shaped with Chomsky, and the theories developed during language studies are tackled. In the other part of the thesis, it is researched thoroughly how the change in the understanding of language affects the philosophy of language in the process from Plato to Chomsky. In the light of all these data, Chomsky defines the language ability as an ability that given to us from the first moments of our existence, and through this ability, he argues that man possesses a mechanism which is capable of producing an infinite number of expressions with a finite number of systems. Chomsky puts forward that we genetically acquire a significant part of our language, and he supports his originality with his theories. The very relationship between the mind and the language that I have examined in this study is the essential theme in all Chomsky's works. In addition, Chomsky puts forward the theories of Universal Grammar and Productive (Transformational) Grammar for the first time.
