    Thanks a lot for this video (and the others too).
    I was hoping to find an answer, but didn't find it. Since my retirement I spend a lot of time in Vietnam and of course I wanted to learn the language. It was said that it was difficult to learn because of the pronunciation and that it is a tonal language.
    So I bought myself all available courses and start to study, soon I felt that there was something wrong with the study. The most obvious is the great attention for the pronunciation, I find that strange because to distinguish and to produce sounds is a very physical thing and that just takes a lot of time. But there was more. Most courses are just of an incredible low educational level. $0 years ago I studied education theory and during my study I did a research on chess books for beginners. I saw a lot of similar mistakes, but I first had to know more about the Vietnamese language.
    So I started my research and one of the first things I saw is that the Vietnamese language uses alphabetic script since less than 100 years. The French made it mandatory and it was also developed by the French. They used Latin letters but there aren't enough letters to mark all the sounds, especial the glides (and they have more than 20 of them) have no marking. For the Vietnamese it is no problem because they learn the pronunciation before they can write.
    Before the alphabetic script they were using logographic scripts. combination of Chinees and Chu Nom (the script for the Vietnamese words).
    When we see an alphabetic script we think that the grammar and the use of sound is as in our language and that isn't.
    Writing logographic characters is a total visual activity, there's no sound involved. I think like mathematical formulas. When the character is finished one can pronounce it, but that's not necessary to read most of them. Also the strokes they use have no sound or emotional or other relation with the total character.
    And that is complete opposite with writing alphabetic script: words are build up letter by letter, sound by sound.
    So I think that the process of writing and reading of those two total different scripts take place in different part of our brains...or the proportions are very different.
    Characters are stand alone units, the order within a sentence doesn't take in account the sound. The reason for this is that writing and reading logographic writing is like reading comic books while reading an writing alphabetic script is sound based: the breathing is thus important that they make use of dots and comma's. Today logographic writing also use them but that is only since a few centuries.
    An interesting aspect is that Western people often think that Asian people do not show their emotions...well they do! but not as we do! We use sound and body language to express our emotions. Since logographic writing doesn't use sound or body language, they make use of small particles we hardly hear...but they do!
    For example the almost same Vietnamese sentence can have an enormous difference when one of the two has also the particle 'bị' it is short and low spoken...but it make the meaning of the whole sentence negative.
    And how difference collection information visual or auditory is: have ten people sitting on a table and pass a picture of a crying child.. they all will say how sad it is and so on. But in the other room you do not pass the picture but play a tape with a crying child...they will jump up ..
    Visual information is often more understanding ...auditory is more emotional.
    The Vietnamese are using an auditory based script for a visual based language...in my opinion is that the reason why it is difficult to learn because courses do not take that in account.
    They are still thinking that the tones make the language zo difficult..
    they only have 6 tones and they have only a vocabulary function. English has many more tones, they can be used for vocabulary functions, for adding emotion or for grammatical reasons..
    Foreigners have to learn NOT to use tones and sound....
    Meanwhile is there any research on the difference between reading en processing auditory written languages and logographic written ones?

    Hi desperate father here. My son and daughter have a very rear genetic 5q34 duplacation. My sone 7 is 100% non verbal even after 5 years of speech therapy. My question is how were can we go to see if his brain is functioning in a way that is capable of speech? Doctors, colleges, any one or any were we can go to get some answers.
    Currently has a diagnosis of global aperxia but our speech pathologist is baffled as to why he is
    Not making progress.
    We are in north west Ohio Dayton area
    Any direction or advice would be a blessing

      To be fair, he simply mentions wernicke's and Broca's area. I think if he were to talk about phonological word production and comprehension (dorsal and ventral pathways respectively) the guide would fit what you're talking about more. I would also like to see a more in depth guide.

The universe as we know it can be expressed in terms of an equation that is not that long there's parts for space, time, gravity, etc to describe the physics of the universe

    Thanks a lot for your information these are so much good but still complex. Human brain is very complex and involving several different regions with very specific functions. Also human communication is complex, but we have innate ability to understand and formulate it. Language is in the left hemisphere and in the motor theory this controls our movenents such as those required to produce speech. Fot example animals can not do what we do. Plus we have to area Broca's area and Wernicke's area bith of them are critical for language.

    Understanding is a psychological process related to an abstract or physical object, such as a person, situation, or message whereby one is able to use concepts to model that object. Understanding is a relation between the knower and an object of understanding. Understanding implies abilities and dispositions with respect to an object of knowledge that are sufficient to support intelligent behavior.[1

Angel Tsunami snoqualmie valley and neighborhood can validate what they're hearing. Noam chompsky was a pioneer. Shared conversations in real time. Mutual information being heard its more like field of view and there's data and more but we need the UW director of linguistics to be in the loop

    Hi! I have a question that has been bothering me for a long time. I understand that basically brain creates our speech. But what disturbs me is the thougt: "But how do we finally say the word out loud? What makes us to decide that now is the time to sy the word or sentence?" I don't know if its understandable what I mean. I feel like I am speaking on the spot but is it just an illusion? Is it some kind of potential energy that makes us say something? I usually get this question when I speak. Then I am like "wow, I am speaking right now and I can stop it whenever I want". But how do I stop or activate my speech? Like... right there...on the spot.

    • @nicolasrios7198
      @nicolasrios7198 3 роки тому +1

      This video is extremely vague, but serves as a great overview. What he did not mention are what's called the "Phonological pathways." To actually say a word, language production ends in our primary motor cortex. This is what allows us to actually move our lips to speak. We can choose to inhibit actual speech motor function and leave our thoughts simply in the form of thoughts. The process of inhibition is another important concept of executive function in neuroscience.

    • @nicolasrios7198
      @nicolasrios7198 3 роки тому

      It is considered fluent because with this type of aphasia someone can still talk in sentence strings without interruptions, although they will mostly speak gibberish. Meanwhile, Broca's area lesions will lead to inability to speak in sentences since Broca's area is the primary area for production.

    Wow, informative charts, but assuming animals only "exhibit rudimentary forms of speech" and "can't do what we do.", and then claim "they are also not as hard-wired as we are to be able to perceive and comprehend these sounds, something that is innate in humans" is absurd and speciesist. Keep your mind open to the possibility they have such a complex dialect we don't understand, and yet a dog understands their commands in human speech. 🧐
