Outline (in English)

What is language? We will watch two DVDs, entitled "The Human Language Evolves: With and Without Words" and Noam Chomsky: Language and Mind," and discuss Chomsky's work concerned with this question. Chomsky argues that contemporary work on the nature, use, and acquisition of language is based on the revival and reconstitution of venerable themes, which considered the study of language to be part of the more general study of human cognition. From this perspective, the objects of inquiry are the inner mechanisms of the mind that account for the knowledge, use, and acquisition of language. We will review and discuss recent findings on such mechanisms, to which Chomsky has contributed for over half a century. Registered students are expected to attend every class and come prepared to work on the assigned material in depth. Your final grade will be based on the total score of the two Review Exams (100%).
