Noam Chomsky
Today I show you an interesting video obtained from the official Noam Chomsky website. It’s one of his lectures in “Hitchcock Lectures” (March 20, 2002): Language and Mind Revisited: The Biolinguistic Turn. You can download it and learn about its topic: which is the biolinguistic view from language? how can we understand a natural complex system, see language, with our tools, with our knowledge? and more accurate: which are our goals? what can we do as linguist? and so on. Furthermore, Noam Chomsky is one of my favorite language scientists and, in fact, I’m reading right now The Minimalist Program -hard and amazing work-, so it’s the best gift I can offer you for new year. Have a nice 2008!
