transformational grammar

Grammars {transformational grammar} {generative grammar} can generate sentence patterns by mappings at levels. Language comprehension uses same levels and rules.

structures

Sentences have fundamental structure {deep structure} and structure {surface structure} mapped from deep structure. Deep structure relates grammatical units of simple, representative sentences, sometimes using semantic rules. Surface structure relates word categories, like constituent grammar does, and phonological rules affect it. Deep structure resolves ambiguities left open by surface structure. Predicate calculus is a transformational grammar.

innate

Perhaps, children learn language using innate brain function to decode syntax.
