I'm writing a robust parser for English using the principles of construction grammar. In contrast with Chomsky, CG has as its chief characteristic a pairing between form and semantics. We learn that "bird" means the concept of bird. We learn idioms the same way: "he's a cool customer" means the concept of a person calm in pressure situations. One is indeed lucky if born into a culture with patterns between these pairings. In my opinion there is no universal grammar and if my parser eventually works for English, it will have completely different construction rules for each targeted natural language beyond English.
