In the late 1950s, Noam Chomsky revolutionised our understanding of language with his theory of Universal Grammar (UG), most notably articulated in Syntactic Structures (1957) and further developed in Aspects of the Theory of Syntax(1965). Chomsky proposed that all humans are born with an innate linguistic framework. This is a deep, biological capacity for language that underlies every tongue on Earth. This insight transformed linguistics and cognitive science, revealing language not as a learned behaviour but as a reflection of the shared structure of the human mind. On a personal level, Universal Grammar reminds us that communication is not a privilege of the few but a birthright of all, fostering confidence in our innate ability to connect and express ourselves. For society, it highlights the profound unity beneath our cultural diversity: no matter how different our words, the mental blueprint that shapes them is the same. In recognising this universal bond, we nurture empathy, mutual understanding, and the collective wellbeing that arises from seeing humanity as one interconnected conversation. From the vantage point of Christian theology, it is interesting that although God confused the languages of humanity when the Tower of Babel was built (Genesis 11), He did not remove the underlying linguistic framework, no doubt looking forward to a time when humanity would again enjoy universal communication and comprehension.
