- Language development was studied through diary studies by recording child speech.
*Language Sample Studies: (from 1930-1957)
- Instead of collecting data of a single child they collect data from a large number of children at a certain stage.

Chomsky believes that every child has a ‘language acquisition device’ or LAD which encodes the major principles of a language and its grammatical structures into the child’s brain. Children have then only to learn new vocabulary and apply the syntactic structures from the LAD to form sentences. Chomsky points out that a child could not possibly learn a language through imitation alone because the language spoken around them is highly irregular – adult’s speech is often broken up and even sometimes ungrammatical.
