Abstract
Any system as complex as human language is bound to lend itself to a variety of independent approaches. At different times different aspects of language have struck peoples and thinkers' mind. One of the most controversial topics which has become the most widely used linguistic theory is Chomsky's Universal Grammar.
This paper is an attempt to present a brief account of the historical background of the idea of the universal grammar and its implications. It manifests some universal features common to all human languages. Finally it will focus on the concept of hierarchy in language by which the levels of linguistic analysis are specified.
