I wish that linguists didnt think of language as just language Language is people its minds its communities Its the environment 80 of biodiversity is protected by indigenous languages Its not just about saving a language or protecting a language its about saving the people and the community and keeping them together Help them to protect each other and the planet

Every language itself and every person's individually is a vivid substance that continuously changes

'The concept is just sitting there (of table) waiting to be cognized' An embodied Universal that can only be received by a sensitive Soul and understood/defined by a rational one

Thinking your native language is pure is nearly as dumb as someone thinking they have pure blood

Comment from : @taherabuzaid142

all languages are different, on the contrary they would be the same the fact they share characteristic is explained by reality they describe which is the same for humans chomsky is a genius of the non transcendent

Comment from : @barokespinoza

For me as a language teacher who teaches English as a foreign language and who has a University diploma in linguistics, it is appealing Chomsky saying that "shall" and "will" is "nonsense Comparative linguistics shows very clearly the origins of English It is probably one of the most fusion languages on the planet "Will" exists in most of the European languages meaning "future planned action, determination, etc"

There is no definition to definition because definition is a just a hint that is agreed among ourselves to use it as a definition

So stoked on the, "French is like German" commentary I'm currently learning, "all the Romance (Romanz) languages" and it's hella like yeah French is just fucking southern German French is really the language of the, "good Swiss" all this nonsense with Paris and the Eiffel Tower (Tokyo Tower beta version) is justa coverup for when they killed Walter Bennjamin's Arcades

Comment from : @hareth3911

Wow, his explanation on Chinese "dialects" as being as different to one another like French is to Romanian is startling It really shows the ignorance from the institutions we are taught from as kids - if we can learn that French, German and Spanish are different languages, we can definitely learn the different languages spoken in China It just cements his point that what we learn in school is wrong Regardless, I welcome this new knowledge as an adult Language learning has personally opened my eyes to the world in a way I've never seen before (opens the doors to history, politics, sociology, literature - everything that defines a culture), and linguistics is its beautiful pairing!! These interviews and lectures I am stumbling on YT are a gold mine
Comment from : @sabs3820

To me Chomsky is almost like a demi-god because I studied computer science and learned about the Chomsky hierarchy of languages
Comment from : @timtruett5184

Linguistics is a sub discipline of anthropology, and both have essential features of psychology, and neuro-physiology

"What determines if it's gonna be a human or a bird is something about it's internal structure" You mean like DNA? But who coded the DNA? He can only "wave his hands" at the question All that intellect and yet so empty

Comment from : @dinosoho3762

Whoa I had no idea that language was so important
Comment from : @evcoolgene

Question for linguists that were linguists in 1989: To me as someone with an MA in linguistics, this seems like he is explaining this in what today one would teach Ling 101 Was that the case at this time? In other words, would a high level graduate student in 1989 answer these questions the same way Chomsky is explaining the concepts but the tv program would prefer to have an expert explain it even though a graduate student could give the same answers or is Chomsky here saying something that a 1989 graduate student would have found profound? or would these concepts have sounded quite basic to a linguistics student at the time?

I am a semanticist, and Prof Chomsky TAUGHT one of my old professors when the latter was at MIT
Comment from : @pauljordan4452

Shit that last thing chom said made me sad given the context of todau
Comment from : @sethwilliams501

As far as I'm concerned one of the biggest geniuses of the XX century, no doubt Another one, although in a different field, would be Bob Dylan He is the master of poetic language, that's the way I see it While Noam is the master of language in general Like communication, theory, the metalanguage, the funcionality of the human brain Chomsky is as close to being book smart as it gets, but he is also a father figure, a living legend on his own The father of linguistics and pioneer in everything that would later become the study of languages

Comment from : @jemandoondame2581

Noam Chomsky says the unvaccinated should just remove themselves from societybr'How can we get food to them?' asks Chomsky 'Well, that's actually their problem’ brbrWhat a dope!
Comment from : @Dadshreds

Chomsky is a despicable hypocrite The Wall Street Journal revealed that Chumpsky was hanging out with his pedophile buddy Epstein (who he also asked to help with his finances) Ever since the revelations that Chimpsky was hanging out with Epstein and Zionist butchers like Ehud Barak, he's gone silent Chumpsky yad the gall to get indignant at being questioned about his association with Epstein No doubt Chumpsky is ducking hard questions about his hypocrisy and moral corruption Nothing like so-called "anarchists" that like hanging out with a billionaire Oligarch pedophile and pimpbrbrCome on Noam, come out of your hole and confess your crimes and betrayals
Comment from : @AR-ml9eo

I'm a high school language teacher and I"be been in the profession for over 22 years now Chomsky's outstanding books on language and linguistics were the ones I frequently read and refer to and they had paramount contribution for my successful achievements in my career for those yearsbr May God bless him with healthy, blissful and peaceful life, Amen

Beautiful person
Comment from : @mahmoudgouda7972

The way he talked about language made me think he has some Marxist worldview, I googled it and "[he] characterize himself as an anarchist with radical Marxist leanings"
Comment from : @icxcnika7358

The purpose of language is to communicate ideas Rules of standardization that enhance the communication process are accepted because they help facilitate a process They are discarded when they impede the objective So blah blah blah, Chomsky
Comment from : @36cmbr

"We can bring up another area that you can CLAIM you have no expertise in" Nice one, Mr Interviewer 😂😂😂

18:34 I have to challenge the statement that throwing paint around randomly is not art Jackson Pollack famously created his art just that way
Comment from : @daviddunn1377

Can I say I really appreciate Noam's effort to be nuanced It's such an important characteristic of intelligence and deep understanding of a subject
Comment from : @daviddunn1377

I wonder if the myth of the purity of race is tied to the purity of the language Purity seems a theme that runs through human thought but is either mythological or hypocritical
Comment from : @daviddunn1377

French, for me, was terribly difficult if only because of the pronunciations German was easier as it's closer to English but I was poor at both I have tried Spanish with about the same poor result brThe hardest part for me is the self consciousness at being a poor speaker of another language brThe end result is that I try to be gracious in dealing with people who are not native English speakers brI do, however, give native speakers of English a hard time about their use of English
Comment from : @daviddunn1377

But can he spell
Comment from : @operationbuzz

I'm a tri-lingual person learning my 4th language I completely agree with Mr Chomsky I learned English over 35 years ago and it's absolutely frustrating to see how much the English language has changed since those days Lots of money and time learning grammar rules, phonetics, etc etc just to hear "native" speakers to throw everything out the window every time they speak😂😂😂

Comment from : @scottconlon5124

In the early Middle Ages, Anglo-Saxon monks were sent as missionaries to the area now known as Germany The reason for this is very simple Until the 9th century, there were virtually no language barriers within the West Germanic dialect continuum in other words, Old English and the dialect mix from which the German language later developed were technically the same thing
