Daniel Everett: 'There is no such thing as universal grammar'

There is no such thing as universal grammar and there will not be unless there is a universal language.....

That's not what it means. Read the link in the OP for clarification. It's pretty interesting.

Ah, well this gives a general overview: quine: terms explained

Actually, what is interesting is if man has a genetic predisposition to spoken language. It has never been tested because at least two very young children would have to be completely isolated to prove or disprove.

What’s universal grammar? Evidence rebuts Chomsky’s theory of language learning

Damn, now see, I ended a sentence with a preposition!

Well now, up with that we cannot put. If we're speaking Latin.

I read that. Interesting. But my sense tells me logic rather than some kind of intuitive gobbledygook. We shall never know.

I have no idea what universal grammar is supposed to be. Even the term "universal" is misleading and earth-centric.

It's like the damn "World" Series.

No, "put"is not a preposition. Actually read the word as "pre-position". It might help. Nice try.

Nobody said put was a preposition.

But with is, and had it been postpositioned as per common parlance...

C'mon, you can do this....

Why not?

Obviously, because we cannot distinguish between that which we inherently understand and that which may be. It is a bit like seeing colors our eyes cannot visualize or a dimension we cannot perceive.

If you read the link, some of the research upon which UG is being questioned (and rejected) by many linguists today is described.

Sorry, my trust of so-called authorities on abstract and matters of prediction is severely limited. I hope it is not that I am anti-intellectual but old enough to have an amazing grasp of the things which cannot be proved or disproved; the unknowable if you will.
