universal grammar
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: universal grammars
Senses: examples: text: At this point, let's gather together various loose ends, and try and paint a
 simple picture of the overall model of grammar which we are moving towards.
 We might suppose that Universal Grammar makes available a set of category-
neutral pairs of rule-schemas such as those numbered (i) and (ii) in (168–170)
 above. The members of each pair of rule-schemas differ only in respect of the
 relative ordering of constituents. The task of the child acquiring the grammar
 of a particular language is thus to determine which ordering options are
 selected in the language he is acquiring. For example, the child has to deter-
mine whether a given language is a head-first language incorporating rule-
schema (168) (i), or a head-last language incorporating schema (168) (ii): in
 other words, the child has to ‘setʼ the relevant word-order parameter for Com-
plements, Specifiers, Adjuncts, and so forth. The picture is complicated by the
 fact that some languages permit more than one ordering option: for example,
 as we have already seen, English selects the head-first and specifier-first orders
 as the unmarked option, but also selects the ‘mirror imageʼ orders as a marked option.
