Transformational grammar theory of language by Chomsky argues for :
Answer: A
Chomsky's transformational grammar argues for surface and deep structures.
In this theory every sentence has a deep structure, its underlying meaning and grammatical relations, and a surface structure, the actual word order spoken. Transformational rules map one onto the other, which explains how 'The dog chased the cat' and 'The cat was chased by the dog' share one meaning.
Chomsky argued that finite-state grammars cannot account for language, so that option is the view he rejected. He held that language is a distinct, modular faculty, not a non-modular one, and linguistic relativity is the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis.
