It's called transformational-generative grammar, but, as I'm a political scientist, I'm not very familiar with linguistics.

Chomsky, despite being extremely vocal and controversial public figure is primarily a linguist (and apparently a brilliant one, despite his controversial statements), so maybe you should ask in that category (I've added it).

Noam Chomsky's theory involved a mechanism called the LAD - Language Aquisition Device. He claimed that children are born with this Language Aquisition Device which allows them to learn the language that they hear.
