undifferentiated schemas in the mind > with intelligence

Putnam: language is the product of intelligence, which is
innate and begins to operate with experience Intelligence

Focus
Definition:
The argument that the linguistic input received by young
children is in itself insufficient to explain children's detailed
knowledge of their first language.
An influential advocate of this controversial theory has been linguist
Noam Chomsky, who introduced the expression "poverty of the
stimulus" in Rules and Representations (Columbia University Press,
1980).The poverty-of-the-stimulus argument has been used to reinforce
Chomsky's theory of a Universal Grammar.
Chomsky's Position
"It is, for the present, impossible to formulate an assumption about
initial innate structure rich enough to account for the fact that
grammatical knowledge is attained on the basis of the evidence
available to the learner."
