The research paper explores the universal stages of First Language Acquisition (FLA) in children, highlighting the structured process of hypothesis formation and testing against linguistic input. It examines the debate surrounding Chomsky's nativist theory, which posits an innate Language Faculty in humans, contrasting it with behaviorist perspectives that challenge this notion. The study emphasizes the commonalities in language learning across diverse cultures, providing insights into the complexities of linguistic development and the ongoing discourse in linguistics.
