- Professor Noam Chomsky's Forum Lecture, "What is Language and Why Does It Matter" from the 2013 Linguistic Society of America Summer Institute at the University of Michigan.
I've been listening to Chomsky RUclips 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.
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.
😊
It's the beauty of the technology that we can watch the legends from far off places ...
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 RUclips. 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.
There’s got to be someone new….

thanks for sharing, great stuff!
It is experience of a lifetime to be able to listen to him.
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
A new and enlighted experience of listening Chomsky.. 🙏
I really thank modern technology ,for giving me opportunity to listen to Professor Chomsky . From India I can listen to him and I can relate him to our ancient rishi Panini .
It's a wonderful talk by Chomsky.
This is a pretty wholesome talk.

It's a great experience listening to Chomsky
Very intellectual thinker
Very informative
Good information sir
I wish Chomsky was a better orator, his valuable information would spread so much more easily.
Books
If Chomsky is not a good orator who is?
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.
If I was his PR agent, I would hire the muppets.

One of the oldest languages is Sanskrit, most Indo-European languages are based on it. The alphabet of Sanskrit was based on actual sounds at its origin. It was a language that was given. Just the same as water and oxygen were given.
Nice
Good
It is an opportunity to see and listen Noam Chomsky's speech but sound is very low.
please increase audio--can't hear
audio can not be adjusted to hear message
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...
Chomsky is a bit of a con man. So don't feel too bad.
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.
@@HouseholdDog Says an ignoramus.
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.
@@rafa374 in his book, On Language, chomsky dedicates an exhaustive section to responding to 4 of his critics
Very informative lecture but voice is not so clear

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
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!
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.

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.

🙏🏻 I thought it not completely if’s the truth twisted in deep sense to no one sense😔🥺how’s the freedom to kill and get the money for the business or pandora. I feel sadness and shivering with the rawness attitude aggression of none human, it’s pressing me on selfishness by the government’s, especially with the Palestinians🥺, I cried every time in words for extremist reasons to explain why and what’s happening with the Truth and Religious, tills it’s not happening with with the Israeli government invading annexation the same way for the Russia sovereignty, while they walking in the process of supposedly Vic on no evidence whatsoever 🤥🤥. They are not responding anything about their killing people, robbing, attacking civilians with Warriors sexual aggression togetherness against civilians. How’s the manipulation process going on for the Ukraine 🇺🇦 zero, he is Stu, no thinking, no knowledge whatsoever but got money😔.
Chomsky is falling as an authority in linguistic.
Smart man but as he ages mumbles too much to be a lecturer.
A wonderful man who could instigate our traditional thinking about language.
Very informative
