Abstract
<p>The investigations of linguistic literature show that linguists today are much inspired by the goals of generative grammar, as well as the important human universals which explain child language acquisition, the universals of general cognition and learning. To put it the other way, linguists are interested in studying the human language to discover the nature of Universal Grammar the principles of which characterize all human languages and this major aim becomes the basis of contemporary linguistic theory of today. As D. Crystal writes: “… the main task of the linguistic scholar is basically to study and understand the general principles upon which all languages are built” (Crystal, 1977).</p><p>In this respect we are sure that this article may throw some light on the origin of universal properties of human language.</p><p>Our aim, accordingly, is to study the origin of general principles of human language and to discover natural factors which cause the human language to have universal properties. In other words, our aim is “to find out the laws of human language” in relation to natural phenomena. In this connection an attempt is made to describe variety of observable similar facts and compare them both pertaining to human language and natural processes.</p>

It should be noted that the fact of unconsciousness is the fact that is expressed in structural mechanism of language on the model of the genetic code but it is observed in different creative activities, such as in ancient Chinese philosophers special system of transformation of four binary elements, N
In linguistic code the initial units—phonemes are meaningless in isolation, they serve as the basis for organization of definite minimal consequent linear combinations which express a certain content within a given system
Summary
The theoretical background of the article is based on some considerations which were underlined in the works of distinguished linguists It was revealed that genetic code resembles linguistic code from structural and functional point of view. It should be noted that the fact of unconsciousness is the fact that is expressed in structural mechanism of language on the model of the genetic code but it is observed in different creative activities, such as in ancient Chinese philosophers special system of transformation of four binary elements, N. Y. Marr’s theory of glottogonic processes, Hippocrate’s system with four liguids (Gamkralidze, 1988)
