A kind of generation gap seems to divide researchers interested in the evolutionary status of the human language capacity. There is still opposition to the theory of a genetically determined universal or primal grammar. But although not well acquainted with the transformational-generative linguistic methodology that led to the hypothesis, an increasing number of linguists base their work with a "new grammar" on the acceptance of innateness of the human language faculty. It is proposed that dyslexia offers a hypothesis testable with the new advanced gene mapping, and that Creole Languages and Sign Languages of the Deaf may come to offer possibilities of similarly testable hypotheses.
一种代沟似乎将对人类语言能力进化地位感兴趣的研究人员区分开来。对于基因决定的普遍语法或原始语法理论仍存在反对意见。但是，尽管越来越多的语言学家不太熟悉导致该假设的转换生成语言学方法，但他们基于对人类语言能力先天性的接受，以“新语法”开展工作。有人提出，诵读困难症为通过新的先进基因图谱进行检验的假设提供了依据，而且克里奥尔语和聋人的手语可能会为类似可检验假设提供可能性。
