Abstract
BARON BIRCHENALL, Leonardo; MULLER, Oliver and LABOS, Edith. The innate concepts in Chomsky's work: definition and proposal of an empirical method for their study. Av. Psicol. Latinoam. [online]. 2013, vol.31, n.2, pp.324-343. ISSN 1794-4724.
This article focuses on innate concepts: their definition, according to the linguistic work of Noam Chomsky, and the outline of a method for their study. As an introduction to the subject some academic conceptions of the concept acquisition are pointed out, and it is claimed that there is a lack of an empirical method for the study of innate concepts. Next, the article presents the definition that Chomsky has defended over time about such concepts. Finally, in a theoretical way, it presents the conditions for an empirical procedure for the study of innate concepts, called semantic analysis of corpus.
Keywords : innate concepts; empirical study; psycholinguistics; semantic analysis of corpus.
