THE GRAMMAR OF HARMONY: CHOMSKY'S VISIONARY LINGUISTIC EXPLORATION

Abstract

The concept of a "stimulus-free language" introduced by the renowned linguist Chomsky marks a significant milestone in the evolution of linguistics. This visionary idea not only revolutionizes the linguistic landscape but also signifies a paradigm shift in our understanding of language. By conceptualizing a language devoid of external stimuli, Chomsky challenges conventional notions of language as a network of differential relationships among linguistic signs. This departure from corporeal constraints propels linguistics into the realm of thought and self-expression, transcending the limitations of sensory input. The notion of a stimulus-free language questions the validity of deconstructive perspectives that view language solely through the lens of differential relationships, which often emphasize separation and conflict. Instead, it opens avenues for exploring language as a medium for expressing universal truths and fostering unity. This paper delves into the implications of Chomsky's concept of a stimulus-free language, examining its transformative potential within the field of linguistics and beyond
