- »Language and Other Cognitive Systems: What is Special about Language?«
The Famous American Intellectual has been awarded the Albertus-Magnus
Professor 2011 by the University of Cologne.
According to the New York Times, Noam Chomsky is "the most important intellectual alive" and has also been described as "one of the most articulate, committed and hard-working political dissidents of our time, MIT linguist and political philosopher."
From June 6th to June 8th, 2011, Prof. Dr. Noam Chomsky was a guest of the University of Cologne being the seventh Albertus-Magnus Professor. During his visit, he held one seminar and two public lectures ("Language and Other Cognitive Systems: What is Special about Language?" and "The Evolving Global Order: Prospects and Opportunities").

Thank you so much for uploading this, Chomsky's work as an activist is important, but I've been looking for something that would introduce me to his work in linguistics. This seems like a good place to start.
We need to have a super-Nobel award for the likes of Chomsky.
A great scholar delivering speech in an enviable manner.... i love him....and want him to live long among us
@wiang11 I think the low amount of views is due to the fact that there is just way too many Chomsky videos on RUclips. Trying to find new/recent content by Chomsky can be a research project in itself. Someday, I hope there will be a dedicated Chomsky archival project to make sense of this wealth of knowledge.
Thank you for uploading this. Truly wonderful lecture.
Thank you, it's very important topics. I love LANGUAGES.
46:36 "Communication must be a peripheral aspect of language". Take that, Pinker!
Noam Chomsky was such a great man. Wonderful speech.
Thank you!
thanks for posting Chomsky on language, usually he talks about politics, great to hear about the latest? on this interesting but complicated topic.
really thank you!
Thank you very much
how can someone be this intelligent? hes just out of this world
incredible
It is important topic from important linguist.
Genius
I would appreciate a transcript of the speech. Thanks!
I think Chomsky is being unfairly dismissive about whether animals/infants/machines think. There is a pretty well-formed question, one we may or may not ever be able to answer: In what sense do our subjective experiences qualitatively differ from those of animals/infants/machines, if they exist? There are obvious barriers to answering the questions, and these aren't always the questions asked, but in and of themselves they're askable, if not answerable given the information available to us.
dose any body have this lecture's text or pdf?plz help meeeeee
Machines don't think. Infants do, even if they can't explain how or why, through language, and even if they are not as self-aware, as an adult The thing with language is also, that you never cross any specific barrier, to where you are fully educated, or self-aware to an absolute level. Also babies do greater things than to speak, as feel and spontaniously interact. I think Noam, was clear enough here
is the "Famous American Intellectual" mentioned in the description some sort of a title? Otherwise I can't see why it should be capitalised. Also, why is it preceded with the definite article? Is Chomsky the only American intellectual? That'd be sad, if true.

The sound engineer here is bunk.
He mixed up Pluto and Uranus.
@wiang11 er redet nur über linguistic, das ist für alle nicht-linguisten ziemlich harter tobak.
Without intelligence, meaning, mind no 'language'.
his voice sound boring. but great lecture. just need some ice breakers though
If Chomsky is such a "radical" social "critic", how come he's still working for MIT after 50 years?
