I believe that although we can identify people who attempt to meet the challenge of being a "linguistic authority", no one can succeed in becoming one, because the responsibility that accompanies this title is too great to assume on one's own. The only “authority” that determines the changes that a language undergoes is the set of everyday speakers, who unconsciously push it towards an innate model that they have anchored in their minds. First, it should be noted that although language is a tool that we use to convey meaning and exchange ideas among members of the same community, each person has a unique copy of this tool – what we call “common language” is actually a set of mutually intelligible dialects that we created when learning the language and gradually refined by using it. . Since the process of language acquisition is unique for each speaker, so is the end product. For example, the meanings we assign to generic words vary across individuals1 because they must encompass a class of objects rather than an individual item. This aspect allows for small differences in the exact meaning of a word – what I think of as a chair may not be one in someone else's English version, but that doesn't mean we We lack a common general notion of what a chair should look like. – even though small details may differ, “the big picture” remains the same. Language therefore exists only as a concept that encompasses all generally accepted and used ways of conveying meaning and cannot be anyone's particular property in its entirety2 – since we are the only users of our personal dialect, we know more about him than anyone else could, which means that no one can claim jurisdiction over any version of the language other than his own. Moreover, Plato's "Cratyl...... middle of paper... fulfills the sole role of an authoritative figure has disappeared if Chomsky's theory is taken into account. In short, we do not have linguistic authority in the conventional sense. What we have is the natural power of public control, unified under the theory of universal grammar. What remains for the conscious mind to handle – noting the evolution of language – is still too difficult to handle, as history has shown time and time again, but we must nevertheless keep trying, because these efforts strengthen the unity of language in conjunction with the direct effects of our innate sense of syntax. Therefore, we can accurately say that the only linguistic authority we have is the combined influence of all speakers of a language and that their only role is to instinctively move the language towards the grammatical pattern that is ingrained in our brain..
