This is the most knowledgable talk i have ever watched. Whole new level to big data and analytics. Marvellous efforts to collect data for 2 years and efficiently analysis the whole story - how words(language) been learned by a toddler. Amazing, deserves applause.

@cheesebubba Roy's work is actually quite interesting. He's compiled by far the largest database on situated language use, which is extremely valuable for research in linguistics, especially since there is very little data out there that provides any context in which the language is used. What he's doing is pretty awesome to me as someone doing work in the field. He's also developed some of the first AI models for situated language learning (CELL being the first and the most well known).

This doesn't really investigate what language is or how people learn language. Unless I'm missing something, it's just recording feedback loops that children use to get the phonemes just right. It seems like the son already had the meaning of 'water' he was just sounding it out until he got the word just right. 'Gaga' can mean water just as much as 'water' means water.

Fascinating stuff. According to my mother, I was speaking in complete sentences by the time I was 9 months old. I was skeptical until I heard a friend's baby speak almost an entire sentence ("I good girl") at 2 1/2 months. I noticed that this baby did what I do - look at people's mouths, rather than their eyes, when they speak - and wonder if there's a connection.

By analyzing the progression of utterances from initial word formation/acquisition to the final, correct reproduction we can see how words begin to form and eventually become fully spoken words. If you want to know HOW LANGUAGE IS LEARNED as in, the big question HOW, good luck on that, we've been trying for years and still don't know. You need a team of linguists, neurologists, and psychologists all working together just to come up with vague theories about it. But those theories already exist. This talk was about specifically watching language formation as it happens.
@gregoriolobato30334 жыл бұрын
I think how you get to learn words in first place, and how the tv or social media can make people talk about what they want. If you get bombarded from every channel, social media, and some friends talks about what they saw, you will be probably talking and thinking about that and not thinking about they dont want you to think, and other stuff like showing you things you didnt know they exist and now that the influencers, or somebody that has a lot o repercusion shows you, now you feel the urge to buy it. You should see some videos of Noam Chomsky about social media. You know what you see, what you dont see doesnt exist and now a lot of what you see comes from social media and TV.
@gregoriolobato30334 жыл бұрын
Ah, and something else... Its not only what you see or dont see, it how you think of feel about what now you know. I mean, If I wanted to do someting that is good for me and bad for the rest of the country all I would have to do is to show only the part of the facts like is good for me and hide the part that is not. Like Im running for senator and via social media I only show the things I did good, and not the things that went bad, and the oposite whit my enemy. This goes to politics, economics, cientific papers, new in general, products, all that you could think about. You could watch the documentary on Netflix "The great Hack" about the social media and how they do this. Its really, really, scary and amazing.

Amazing research, but I hope the practice of blanketing a home with cameras doesn't become widespread. It really would be an invasion of privacy, in my opinion. Small children do not have the ability to understand this, and frequently have no power to change such things if they do disapprove. Any legal recourse by Child And Family Services to prevent such an occurrence, obversely, might easily lend itself to abusive interpretation.

This study is actually so biased. Of course, his son is going to be an early talker and have a good vocabulary like he is being fed words, always around people, and has professors as parents. The researcher is going to want to see trends and prove his ideas to benefit himself, so he is going to try and support his conclusions as best as possible. The study would be super beneficial with relating mass media and social environments plus linguistics but I don't really think it matters for children learning words. Of course, if you say a word a lot, the child is going to learn it. Like where else do you say bye besides at the door, come on. I think he should have done the study with a family who didn't know why they were being recorded to provide genuine data. Roy seems like he wants to be special or do something and is scraping anything he can together to do so.

@xjustamem0ryx Not really a coincidence, just the nature of the data. The first graph was based on where the baby was, and in general areas it gradually curved upward or downward. In the second graph, their position doesn't mean anything. I'm sure they could put it in a way so that it looks similar to the sloping of the first graph. For that they'd probably have to make each "stack" the same area (i.e., not based on how long the tv show or whatever is).

So, a person my have a pattern of behavior when alone, or in a small group (and that has been researched a lot) however the influence of huge groups on behavior is something that might reveal in new patterns, different than what we know in the small scale, only with social internet info, we can examine this... remarkable !

It is less about the birth of a word but how words can be used as "keywords" through social or channel medias making people a mindset about certain things and this and that you know the stuff. This is about data analysis and how social media or the authority can provide a feasible context to an individual for certain things sure.
