Abstract	This research paper explores Noam Chomsky's groundbreaking contributions to linguistics, focusing on his theories and their impact on our understanding of language acquisition and structure. Chomsky introduced the concept of transformational-generative grammar, revolutionising the study of syntax by proposing that all human languages share a common underlying structure, which he termed universal grammar. His work emphasized the innate nature of language acquisition, challenging behaviourist views and suggesting that humans are born predisposed to learn the language. The paper also examines the critical period hypothesis and how Chomsky's theories have influenced contemporary linguistic research and cognitive science. By delving into Chomsky's extensive work, this study highlights his role as a pioneering figure in modern linguistics and his enduring legacy in the field
