Celebrating the Legacy of Noam Chomsky and Morris Halle: The Founding Fathers of MIT Linguistics
The MIT Department of Linguistics has dedicated a wing of its Stata Center home to founding fathers Noam Chomsky and Morris Halle. The department head, Danny Fox, says that Chomsky and Halle "defined and transformed the entire field of linguistics." Chomsky delivered a virtual lecture titled “Genuine Explanation and the Strong Minimalist Thesis” that was made available to the entire MIT community.
After the lecture (see the link below), Chomsky, faculty, alumni, and graduate students had a lively discussion and reception. Chomsky and Halle defined human language acquisition as a biologically based trait and Chomsky specialized in syntax, while Halle specialized in phonology. Their works had a great impact on the field of linguistics and their legacy continues to shape the discipline today.

Musical Soundscapes of Morocco: From Africa to America (Samuel Thomas - American Folklife Center)
zhlédnutí 305Před 3 lety
Samuel Torjman Thomas explores the circulation of Moroccan music in America and the place of music in constructing modern Moroccan-American hybrid identities. Morocco has long been a nexus point between east and west, drawing upon an inherently international position in world history and its own ethnic diversity (including Arab, Jewish, and Berber traditions) for creative musical inspirations. ...

It would be great if we were all as intelligent ! He's a gem.
فن اصيل يطرب القلب،و العقل،ثرات مغربي اصيل.
What and what.... professor Noam Chomsky....l will understand... you..class...l mad my self.....(Merge...p,q, ws....a,b....👍👋😄
Im domy ...l don't understand to much... and I don't like....l like to understand....lm so mad my self...l love to learning linguistics, is not easy.... get Noam Chomsky...👍😵💫
Mental giant, moral fool. I can still see him singing with Hugo Chavez before the demise of Venezuela. After the demise was well underway, Noam tried to back pedal with the typical "nobody ever does socialism right" lame excuse. PS_ I adore the comments...I haven't seen this much fawning since Bambi was released by Walt Disney studious in 1942.
الملحون فن مغربي عريق بدايته كانت في العصر الموحدي في القرن 12
I like the philosophical foundation of his linguistics - Essentialism. It retains something that cannot be fully grasped by empirical science
Nice to hear the late Jim McCawley get a couple shoutouts.
without exception, except for head movement 🤪25:03
Thanks for uploading the two lectures.
That Wink....
wow! a legend!
1:50 Galileo 2:08 How is it possible to express an inffinite number of ideas with a couple of dozens sounds, which in itself have nothing in common with the thoughts in our minds and allow us to understand what is not present in consicousness? That's indeed an interesting question. But, doesn't he goes too far with 3:06 "everything we can conceive and the most diverse movements of our soul" Some experiences are auditory and visual; consider colours, one can tell a blind man everything there is to know about colours and yet when he would miraculously starts seeing for the first time his experience will be expanded.
Conception and expression are not the same thing
Perfect , A few good men
بحترم جداااااااا كبار السن في التعليم لا مثيل لهم Youth , his body language is more than mental expressions and thoughts
Language is social and historic and evolves rapidly in a social context and changing world. It's for communication. I'm.not seeing any mystery. Would anyone like to explain?
the mistery has been repeatedly articulated by noam in numerous interviews and lectures including this one. namely, the spoken/written language seemingly operates as a linear representation of symbols. on the other hand, reading or listening to a speech, we effectively ignore the linear sequence of words and decode the message as a complex structure which is not explicitly given. that means, we posses implicit ability to process any message tho this ability is totally separated from conciousness and unreachable by introspection. human kids demonstrate an exclusive ability to acquire language instinctly, long before they obtain enough linguistic data to learn the sintactic rules by statistic generalization of experience. the language is used almost exclusively for generating thought. humans, just as other animals, didn’t need language to communicate. being unable to generate complex recursive sintactic structures, big apes have still a profound system of communication with which they can communicate efficiently and sufficiently. the organs of speech were there long before the emergence of language so as in animals. try to scientifically explain all this with trivial statements like ‘language is social and historic and evolves rapidly in a social context and changing world’.
Read poetry. Is the language of poetry serves to communicate?
He's genius,😍
What is this about?
That questioner is pretty confused by Noam’s use of the word neural nets but I think he doesn’t know the term refers to both biological and artificial systems. It’s just common to use it in an artificial context these days.

It's sad that the recording sucks so much

Thanks.
Thanks for the upload.
wow indeed he is a greatest linguist
He still alive?
12:18 "Voluntary action is not a question which is currently fit for productive inquiry. " 👍 Brilliant response to the next time someone asks me why i broke something
Great👌👌 #beahumane
Good morning I have reserch how can I be in contact with you thanks
Hello everyone! Could someone translate these lectures into Spanish? I'm very interested, but I don't understand any English. Thanks
What's the spelling of the person he referenced? Rene Huybrechts?
Play on speed 1.5
Thank you for sharing. Such a legend.
I hope that other video can have subtitle for help person that english not good like me thaks you🥰
A master in the field of langue, unfortunately not in the field of speaking.
I'm a brazilian linguistics student, can't even tell how blessed i feel on learning from Chomsky at YT lecture.

I really struggled paying attention to what he was saying, until I set it to 1,5 times the speed. My mind finally managed fully to focus on Chomsky‘s lecture (I have adhd), and this was great! 😊❤️
i was just about to say this could be related to adhd since the same happens to me, glad you already know haha, glad you enjoyed the lecture, much love!
@@uydfi35 I was only diagnosed two months ago, so it’s amazing to not feel dumb or like the weird one out and realized my brain is just wired a little bit different. Thank you for replying ❤️
There is a Firefox add-on called Video Speed Controller, and a similar on chrome. After a while you get used to faster speeds, and even the 2x limit that youtube gives you isn't enough, and a video like this is pretty comfortable at 3-3.5x.
Hard to understand
Same for me and I don't have adhd

There is very little linguistics meat & potatoes on youtube as of late 2021. Hats off to Noam Chomsky, but you won't learn a whole lot from this lecture here.
Abralin is the closest for a semi-lay audience. For something more structured, there is Martin Hilpert's long-running series. There are also a myriad of professors who put great stuff up just as a kind of personal record and get next to no views (for obvious reasons); a random example is Nathan Hill (SOAS).
Best of the best for this guy..he makes us linguistics so damned proud
Can somebody explain why is it illegal in 9:19 ? Why is it violating all the movement?

I hope there is transcription available. It would be my valuable possession.
Why do you need a transcript? Just listen to him.
