"Other animals communicate, but they dont have anything approaching the sophisticated grammar of human languages"brbrI'd say dolphins absolutely 'approach' it There's ongoing research that is showing just how complex dolphin speech really is
Comment from : Nicholas

bonus Gillian Anderson narration!
Comment from : M G

Knowledge about one subject doesn’t translate to knowledge about another, Chomsky also showed us!
Comment from : Magnus Nygaard

The evidence against this would be the children who've grown up without human language and are incapable of learning it later in life
Comment from : Sam Wright

1:07 Chomsky's hypothesis: there are inbon structures of some kind of LAD device "Universal Grammar; if he's right Locke's blank slate assertion is wrong

Hehe ready to be blown awaybrTelekinesis Essential Hint: If you are unable to do telekinesis, your body would be dead! You do this all day long Western world is devoid of this reality check We are spirits inhabiting a physical body to experience this physical world We are spirit with or without a physical body I repeat, we are spirit We are NOT physical So to interface to our body, to tell the nerves to take action, we do this by telekinesis And to get info back from our bodies we use extra sensory perception We can also apply telekinesis directly to any part of our own body and to other people and objects Voila We depend on telekinesis for the very functioning of our physical body I hope this clears things up brNow, we as spirits have awareness as thought forms and the transmission of thought forms is instantaneous and NOT limited to humans The use of language is a translation to and from thought forms and is not very fast due to this need for translation Our spirit holds everything in thought forms We can actually learn 2nd language with a basic level of effort But learning the 3rd, 4th, 5th become much more effortless I totally disagree with the hardwired language concept I learn many languages that have completely different grammer And can even have past life deja vu when learning many words as they trigger connections to other experiences immediately and feel that I've always known that word Western world thinking limits us Don't be limited You are spirit That is who you are Once you understand that, you become so free and empowered and can absorb everything and learn from our spiritual ancestors as well and from nature
Comment from : Ron Lentjes

Chomsky is a dirty american comunist, a crazzy marxist , a traitor of Western civilization, a traitor of USA, a sick old polititian, a guy to forget le comuniste menteur Chomsky le connard traitre des USA qui prefere les imperialismes ou comuniste chinois ou le terroriste islamique ou le staliniste Russe de Putinhorrible cécitéaveugle

Our slates have definitely been written on before we emerge from the womb by our DNA and the environment of our mother's womb during pregnancy
Comment from : Jonathan Parnell

Great word choices in this video, there's a poverty of stimulus Wish I could talk like that and not be considered a douche
Comment from : Jonathan Parnell

Um is that Gillian Anderson narrating?
Comment from : SyrenSoul

So, basically: Nature, not nurture?
Comment from : Maureen Chudyk

Is this not just the a priori functioning that Kant described?
Comment from : Spicer C

Not writing the slate before birth, but a kind of prewritten software - just as all other parts of the body have a prewritten blueprint which guides and limits how they'll take shape from the earliest stages of development
Comment from : PhatLvis

Amazing video
Comment from : Rosalia Alvarado

Great video Speaking of language, did Gillian Anderson always have a British accent?
Comment from : Ryan Benson

Since when did Mrs Anderson get a UK accent?
Comment from : Emory Georges

I love this woman's voice, and obviously the topic at hand
Comment from : Alexandrology

Whatta? Narrated by GILLIAN ANDERSON?? O_ObrAs an X-Files lover, I'm delighted to find her among my studies!
Comment from : TeknoMaX

Was the picture really necessary to convey such a simple idea?
Comment from : lifeisstr4nge

The concept of universal grammarbrNoam Chomsky put forward not only leads to an innovative understanding of linguistics, ideas, philosophy, history and science , but also to an understanding of human nature, value of existence, and the distinction between humans and other living things
Comment from : Hirotaka Kawano

What happens to our (human) special facility with grammar when we go from a hypothetical, "wired" advantage in infancy to the slowness of school-age? Why doesn't Prof Chomsky's advantage of universal, human grammar make easy the learning of English grammar? Where does that hard-wired knowledge go? How does it become "unwired" as seems to be true of US school children? They study for years but only a few learn the difference between a subject and an object They acquire arithmetic skills, but they never learn how to conjugate "to lay / to lie" After all the years of Prof Chomsky's theory, where is the evidence?
Comment from : Goedelite Kurt

The ease of learning a language is not a scientific concept How does one measure it? Why does Prof Chomsky's theory require the heavy public exposition on youtube? A scientific theory belongs in scientific journals where it is reviewed and challenged by peers
Comment from : Goedelite Kurt

Thanks
Comment from : Balson Naoshekpam

What an illustration Thank you
Comment from : Zakaria LAKIRI

I could pick out that voice anywhere, which is strange because I watched 15 seasons of the X-files, where she had an American accent

math? 😔
Comment from : Connor Kearley

Sounds like a sort of kantianish account of language learning, which makes sense to me Both poles of the innatism/empiricism duality do seem incapable of explaining the complex phenomena involving living beings in general, human languages included
Comment from : Lucas Dallapicola

amazing explanation in such a short video
Comment from : someone

simply brilliant clip!

him nd wittgenstein would have cool dialects
Comment from : savescreens

0:40, Children don't have a poverty of stimulus, they are always stimulated by the environment Chomsky ignores the motivating operant of the individual that may constantly seek reinforcement, that's probably the only thing that's innate
Comment from : Francisco O

Thanx
Comment from : Manohar Gupta

Simple and straight to the point
Comment from : Justina Bigelow

I have always found the slate-metaphor lacking The LAD - if it exists - is not a pregriven writing on a slate, it IS the slate
Comment from : Clemens Wagner

Wow this was fun and it made a clear distinction between Plato, Locke and Chomsky
Comment from : Kevan Balmer

i have a presentation about this next week 💀

Comment from : Lynn

Chomsky was young and handsome in 60th! Why would you show 60th Chomsky older than Locke?! That's not fair!

Language Acquisition Device and String Theory Two unproven theories that have fallen out of favor not because they were unproven, but simply because they could not be proved

oh my god Gillan Anderson

In other words, babies eventually learn to use language because they can Brilliant!

Come on BBC"Aquisition"? Seriously?

I demand those 2 minutes back
Comment from : MG

I just came here to say that Noam Chomsky’s theory of Language Learning has recently had evidence come out against it So it might not be true
Comment from : Smo Cloud

I always thought his theory was more complicated lol
Comment from : Z Channel

No tabula Rasa
Comment from : Dan Gray

What? That's how Scully speaks in real life?
Comment from : Ty N

it makes so much sense

Chomsky is a genius! Now, back to cooking I hope nothing got burned
Comment from : KeskinCookin

this is the simplest overview of chomesky's hypothesis I came across during my 7 years studies of a SLA and linguistics thanks for putting it this way (y)
Comment from : Mouna

I challenge anyone who things this is how language works to explain the Minimalist Program to me
Comment from : J Lieto

I really like the idea of LAD It makes the most sense and It really sets us apart as a species
Comment from : HotSkull

which has been disproved by more recent research

We already knew this since at least the time of the Wise Greeks I'm tired of academics reinventing the wheel

*Acquisition
Comment from : Alex GodEye

My aunt emigrated to Cyprus with two teenage daughters and the 2 year old girl After about 1 year the little 3 year old girl was speaking fluent grammatically correct Greek, just how Chomsky described The girl was translating for her elder sisters who only learnt as adults do, very difficult What Chomsky was saying is so true brbrLanguage seems to be a savant skill we all have This language power switches off at around the age of 5 Empiricists who try to argue against Chomsky are going against the evidence

I'm not so sure about that Mr ChomskyPlato is my guide here, symbols and images comes first than the gibber of the apes

It's a good thing we don't have processors in our brains, otherwise he'll have to take back his statements of the Singularity

I died when I saw the title for narrator
Comment from : Ezgi çelebi

What the fuck would he know? He speaks just English Never listen to someone who learns what they think they know just from a book and from no actual experience
Comment from : Beta Vulgaris

I always knew I was a LAD
Comment from : Fattimithy

I think that this makes so much sense it is almost obvious I can't believe it was only discovered / established recently Anyway, I am a big fan of Chomsky Great short video
Comment from : flyamil

That is a very cool drawing
Comment from : degas5000

I wouldn't say that we know the reason we learn so easy to say our thoughts through language, because the mind, or human brain it is such a complicated thing Notwithstanding what we may say for sure is that, we're biologically engineered for language use Not just due to brain but physiological adjustment related with lungs and our supralaryngeal vocal tract Anyway have been advances in Genetic theory that could unify language and DNA; ie the Foxp2, is thought to be a gene related with language, however those areas with tonal languages such as chinese that gene dost appear in population Think about Language by itself, as an artificial structure that makes our thoughts come out our mind that's mind-blowing
Comment from : César Choya Calonge

What does he say about second language acquisition???
Comment from : Li V

The problem with this is that 1) there is almost no practical scientific data to prove linguistic theory You cannot test humans in critical stages of language acquisition because they are so young that they cannot co-operate with you - not even holding still It would also be completely unethical to have a "control group" - aka children who have been kept in complete isolation, in order to definitively proof exactly what/how much stimulus you need to acquire languagebrThis leads to 2): For the past 30-40 years theories in the field have run rampant Sometimes a study indicates or proves that something isn't quite right with your theory The reaction to that of the linguists who are invested in that pariticular theory is to try to bring a counter-study, to safe that particular branch of linguistics, while others, including Chomsky, modify their theory and move on brThis has led to a confusing amount of theoretical dead-ends, which you still have to learn to understand the now-more-complex-than-ever new theories that built on it
