"What is Language and Why Does It Matter" - Noam Chomsky

[@dr.d.s.choudhari9893]

It's the beauty of the technology that we can watch the legends from far off places ...

[@gayatrigovalvanshinanda6921]

It's always pleasure to listen him... Chomsky contended that the human brain is specially wired for language acquisition. This differed from other linguists, who contended that humans learn language by watching other humans.

I've been listening to Chomsky KZbin videos daily for nearing a month. On his linguistics side this is by far the best I've viewed yet. It's is such a privilege and blessing to have these imperishable encapsulations of Chomsky at his best available forever.

[@hosseingolebostan5337]

I have been teaching linguistics (general/pure & applied) for almost 35 years or so. All the time, I have wished to be Prof Chomsky student to get insight about language and language acquisition. Now , I feel honored to call myself a student of his through the lectures presented in KZbin. But , unfortunately, the site is filtered in my country, and I wish it would be removed someday. Thank you many times for your efforts in broadcasting such lectures.

Chomsky highlights how language is perceived across ages from Aristotle down to the present times. His speech signifies how language is pivotal in the daily life of human beings. Very useful video

Chomskian linguistics is far too technically complex for oratory anyway. In these talks you’re rally getting cliff notes at best. It’s actually quite difficult to understand if you’re not already familiar with the technicalities of the field.

I wish so hard that there were a transcript. I'm not good at processing aurally anyway, but Pr. Chomsky is apparently not a particularly brilliant orator. Lose concentration for a second and I have no idea what he's talking about DX

[@Irisceresjuno]

I think he's like that to everyone in the beginning. Listen to him more and he will be easier to understand. It will be worth the effort. Now, I can get everything he's talking about at 2x speed!

[@okaytoletgo]

Kay, are you aware of the possibility of changing the speed of the audio stream? I can not understand one word Adam Phillips's talks, for example, when they are lectures per se. He's really interesting at .75% and also at .50%. Wheel on the lower right of the youtube frame.

[@eyesofpicasso]

i am trying so hard to understand chomksys linguistics. im getting closer to cracking his rhetorical style: he starts off generally and comprehensibly, then goes into a lot of incomprehensible esoteric detail, and, if you can hang on through all that, he comes back to conclusions that are vitally important to the nature of human consciousness. The q & as are touch and go. the incomprehensible section is understandably so, because, i think, linguistics is at such a preliminary stage, and, according to chomsky, most of it is junk. so, if im interested, ive just got to hang on till he gets to his conclusions. i dont know if a rewatch will make things i didnt understand any clearer...

[@HouseholdDog]

Chomsky is a bit of a con man. So don't feel too bad.

[@mathman2170]

What makes Chomsky opaque (to me anyway, at first) is that he emphasizes "thought" not "language." He's describing what goes on in the mind -- if it gets packaged as language, fine, but secondary. Without the ability to "think" language is of minimal use. He's after structures/computations that support thinking and language is a window into that internal world.

[@ManishKumar-uf9tx]

@@HouseholdDog Says an ignoramus.

[@rafa374]

Wow haven't heard anyone say that before.But you're dead right.A shocking conman. His theories are all vague general and never ever tested. How does UG compose a sentence? Or how does any grammar? C. won't tell you - even though that's the first requirement of a scientist - test your theory. The truth is no grammar can compose any sentence. All his theories are false. As I listen to this lecture with its total refusal to recognize that he can't answer the question (a set of hierarchically structured sentences doesn't cut it) it becomes ever clearer that he is the great intellectual fraud of the last 60 years.

In New York City, the challenge of landing a reservation at a coveted restaurant on a weekend night has more or less returned to pre-Omicron levels of difficulty - unless the restaurant in question happens to be known for its blinis and caviar. As Alyson Krueger reported this week in The Times, Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine has created a public relations problem for the city’s Russian restaurants. Even though many owners and workers - some of whom are themselves Ukrainian and have ties to victims of the violence - have spoken out against the war, they are getting deluged with cancellations, negative online reviews and harassing emails and phone calls. Some establishments have even been vandalized. “There is a lot of stigma out there,” Vlada Von Shats, the owner of a Russian piano bar in Midtown, told The Times. Reservations have plunged by 60 percent, she said, and her door was kicked in during the night. “These people don’t realize that we have nothing to do with Putin.” The backlash against Russian culture is by no means just a New York story. Across the country, liquor stores and supermarkets have pulled Russian vodka from their shelves, in several states under governors’ orders. Netflix has suspended all projects from Russia, and orchestras in Britain and Japan have pulled Tchaikovsky from their programs. And in the realm of international competition, Eurovision, FIFA and the Paralympic Games have all barred Russians from participating in this year’s contests.In New York City, the challenge of landing a reservation at a coveted restaurant on a weekend night has more or less returned to pre-Omicron levels of difficulty - unless the restaurant in question happens to be known for its blinis and caviar.
