Thanks Nabil for arranging......if only the world had more people like Noam Chomsky, a truly great human. Hope he stays healthy and we get the benefits of his wisdom for many more years.
The distinguish scolar in language and linguistics even mathematics if you need to him more just read one of his book transform grammarian, you will see concept of math in language
I always remember one of his statement when you analyse sentences in terms of syntactic, semantics,lexical,stylistically and phonological he gave the following example: (Colorless Green Idea Sleeps Furiously) Phonetically are English phonetics Syntactically subject is colorless Green idea and verb is sleeps lastly Furiously is complement. Stylistically also are English style But Semantically there is no meaning because how colorless can be Green idea then the idea sleep while is furioisly
Such an amazing webinar! It’s my first time watching, hearing the speech of prominent person like him. Selama ni buat assignment mmg guna rujukan dia je. Bace buku2 dia. Such a great person, Professor Noam Chomsky.
a great man, glad to see he's still doing well. Attended his lecture in Heidelberg at DAI, Dec 2016! In the 70s he was for me a synonym of GG: generative grammar! I attended a course in Lx with Dr Saib (Chomsky supervised his PhD thesis) at the University Med V, Rabat. In the 80s as I shifted my focus to postcolonial studies, I discovered his political writing and support to the Palestinian cause together with his good friend the late E. Said. God bless you all
How amazing! Chomsky's valuable contributions still haven't answered the question how and why nature designed our minds to work the way they do. He once said this could remain forever an unsolvable mystery.
To discover the simple principles underlying the human complex linguistic behaviour could be a challenge beyond all human intelligence combined. This is a hell of a mission, which may remain miles away from our cognitive ability to achieve. Chomsky is only trying to pave the way for humanity to get ready for the journey into the unknown. (once studied linguistics at Fes at the hands of the great Fatima Saddiqi)
I had the pleasure to exchange a few words with him at University. Apart from his genius, he is a kind man, humble enough to talk to average people like me.
@@lastprince9199 Processing information is fundamental to life. Even the simplest form of living beings process and share information. Unless those aliens are actually a single entity, they'll have to share information somehow. The bandwidth of the communication channel determines the complexity of the language among other factors. So if they're smart and have individuality there's very probably gonna be language.
@@halnineooo136 I see your point but it all depends on the nature of the system of communication adopted by aliens and how easy it is to decode. My belief is the only aliens are humans, they look extremely frightening as almost every feature in them is repeated twice, which , in my view, a duality inspires the mind mechanism.
Great interview even though professor Chomsky had slightly misunderstood the last two questions, still it was the pleasure to listen to him as always- thank you for organising this webinar, greetings from Bosnia
Excuse me, but this 'simple idea' is found in 2011: universal soundhelix (klankhelix, Lauthelix) and Chomsky knows this (25:00) ! A Jörg Rüpke, a Benjamin List, a Klaus Hasselmann, a Hedde Zeijlstra, they all know, but they do not tell how they got this knowledge since they feel ashame not to have discover this by themselves.
He was just as eloquent and confident during the 1980s when postulating the "government and binding" theory of language, only to have it completely abandoned 10-some years later. While one should appreciate many ideas he advanced, it would be foolish to believe that he's finally got things figured out this time as he is eloquently and confidently stating here.
@@lewiscoacher7781 If you read my initial remark carefully, you'd see that it wasn't really about Chomsky -- after all, an individual has the freedom to say what s/he believes to be true at any given moment. And it's typical of humans to do so with confidence. What is unfortunate is that too many scholars, who pride themselves as independent-thinkers, just piously followed him at every turn and ended up wasting years of time and other resources for the subjective errors that one single person makes. The pattern has been repeating for decades, and says something pessimistic about human vulnerability.
An old man who not wants to admit that "The white women of the lost millennium" already knew how language is functioning in our brain. Historical coins do prove this. A long dull story of dull 'his-story'! 'Her store' (this is a helix) is much more interesting.
Mr. Chomsky, without speaking a so-called pre-Indo-European language (whose speakers were largely conqured or assimilated), there will never be good assessments about language. Just as a young eagle reared by chicken will never learn how to fly.
Your comment is confusing, but your implication that speakers of languages outside of the indo-european family are rare is frankly just completely wrong. Mandarin (sino-tibetan family), Arabic (afro-asiatic family), and Indonesian (austronesian family) are some of the most commonly spoken languages on Earth. wtf?
What are you talking about? There are tons of language families around the world which have no connection whatsoever to Indo-European languages. Even in Europe with Basque and the Uralic languages, at least Basque definitely being a pre-Indo-European language that survived through the centuries.
Hard to trust this guy when he’s sold out so bad from calling the system out and writing manufacturing consent to literally manufacturing consent himself
Thanks Nabil for arranging......if only the world had more people like Noam Chomsky, a truly great human. Hope he stays healthy and we get the benefits of his wisdom for many more years.
Professor Chomsky is like Gandalf, both in appearence and in the tender way of passing on wisdom.
bit of an insult to compare a real intellectual to a some silly magic beard dud!

i dont believe my eyes: chomsky talking about linguistics!! :-D NICE
If we had a contact with an alien civilisation, Chomsky would be probably the person we can put forward to represent us.
The problem is if the aliens have some thing like the language system at all.

Amazing Amazing at 92!!
Noam Chomsky will become a ancient wizard.
Thank you so much for inviting the father of modern language .
It's a great pleasure to listen to his pioneer
🙏❤️🙏
Un post-structuraliste dont la contribution est à manier avec précaution !
Thank you for making this available. When did this interview take place?
Yesterday
What an honour
living legend
Namaskaram 🙏🙏🙏

Probably two factors at play: poor hearing, and passion about challenging neoliberalism.

wait-
I didn't know Chomski is still alive-
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nabil sir can I get some books of sir Noam Chomsky on language and linguistics
👏👏👏👏
انت محظوظ جدا جدا يا نبيل أن خصص لك سيدي نعوم تشومسكي ساعة من حياته
اخ نبيل مافي اي فرصه لتوفير ترجمة عربية؟
Why all these ads?
What about Matt vs japan who learned japanese after puberty by himself?
Chomsky, what's the difference between theory and fantasy?
Поздравляю сэра Ноама Хомского с наступающим Новым Годом! Желаю ему крепкого здоровья, и чтобы он почаще улыбался, и был всегда счастлив.

@@bjdouma not sure what your answer is and to what question.
But he is the start of most of the issues...
why does he believe language and thought are inseparable? What book by him should I read to understand this point thoroughly ?
You can dig into the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis or linguistic relativity
Damn didn't know he was still around
Hands down easiest person to interview in the world xD
Wtf has happened with these subtitles? 😅
