Abstract

The research study aims at evaluating association of Universal Grammar as self-explanatory principles and rules with first language learning and acquisition. The objectives of the research are analyzing universal grammar, an identification of an acquisition association and exposition of Universal grammar competence and performance. It aims at influences of environment and culture, interactionism, innate and cultural practices, effects of colonization and migration, new vocabulary and a language template. The purpose of the research is to propose a leading dichotomy of L1 and L2. In this research study, a qualitative research methodology is used. The research instrument is survey which is comprised of ten close-ended questions with the answers of either “Yes” or “No”. The survey was analyzed and was assessed on numerical values. These responses were later, preceded by a detailed discussion of journals and conference papers. Hence, it was found that environment and cultural influences as well as interaction are an essential part of gaining language due to Universal Grammar. Migration and colonization discourage an acquisition of language. The universal language properties are distinguished in attaining a language. The study implies that a native language is affected by critical period hypothesis. There is an establishment of connections whose focus is attention between the critical period. The other variations are paying attention and language teaching. The theory of psychology implies an addition of stimulus response. An emphasized role of Universal Grammar is getting knowledge. It also implies the choice of competence and performance.
