The Human Language (Films)
The Human Language Series is made up of three films. We will show the first two.
Film 1 - Discovering the Human Language: “Colorless Green Ideas”
Noam Chomsky asks, “You meet somebody, say, at a bus stop, and you start having a conversation. How do you do it?” How does anyone know what word to say next? Program one is about words, sentences, and something unique to our species: syntax.
Film 2 - Acquiring the Human Language: “Playing the Language Game”
Are children wrong when they say “he drived” and “two gooses?” How does anyone know what a word really means? Do we inherit grammar? Program two is about how children “acquire” language without seeming to be taught.
