Synopsis

When we speak of studying transformational grammar, we refer to a framework within which a number of questions about human intellectual capacity, questions concerning the knowledge involved in "speaking" a language, have been answered and currently are being answered. This framework is a set of principles, called linguistic universals, which allow us to describe what we, as native speakers of English, know about our language intuitively. Without such guiding principles, it would be very difficult, if not impossible, to obtain a correct description of English.
