Abstract
This study aimed to investigate Chomsky’s claims about the evolution of language from biolinguistic perspectives based on the minimalist theory since Hauser, Chomsky, & Fitch(2002) to Berwick & Chomsky(2016). I strived to catch up with the current issues on the language faculty including Merge and the lexicon. FLB was proposed as a derived uniquely human adaptation for language by many researchers in the other fields of study, while only FLN was proposed as uniquely human by Chomsky et al. The results from Moro’s experimental study(2015) also supported the autonomy of syntactic rules. To sum up, Chomsky’s studies were selectively reviewed and summarized from the viewpoint of the researcher who has studied 1990’s generative grammar, cognitive linguistics, second language acquisition and learning, and elementary English education.
