Abstract

This paper focuses on the concept of intuition and its role in the
generative transformational theory which defines this concept as a source of
the linguistic data which reflect the speaker’s knowledge of his language.
The problem of intuition became the focus of the linguists interested in
language as a social tool of communication because they have considered
language as a mode of action and interaction; so this methodology was
rejected and it became complicated when no clear distinction was made
between Competence and Performance and between the supposed ideal
language and the language used in communication.
