Awesome. My interest in language began quite early as I had much difficulty in speaking as I stammered very badly for many years. I enjoy Dr Everests lectures very much.
there IS a world for the time when the cows come home, in indian languages - it is called ' go dhuli'. It literally means 'cow dust', but it captures the entire experience. Setting sun, dust raised by the hoofs of the returning cows, their mooing, and the whole thing

My attempts at Spanish which is enough to kind of squeak by started in junior high school and high school and when I moved to Israel and I tried to learn Hebrew which when I was a kid I could read and write it fluently but I couldn't understand a lot of it and then I go many decades later I moved to Israel blind trying to learn a language in classes given for immigrants called open where they devised the system of teaching the language not using another language to translated to or even compare it to because there was so many different countries people from different countries in the classroom that the teacher would never be able to teach it to all the different students with all their different languages it would take 100 years so they devised the way of using a pantomime pictures whatever to facilitate the lessons and it worked really well for the people that could see because you know 3 months afterwards people were interacting in the community getting around having conversations so they must have been doing something right but I think my main point was when I started to try and learn Hebrew and enough there to get by two couldn't hold the conversation but could shop count you know all that kind of stuff now when I go to speak Spanish to somebody I tend to unconsciously throw he rewards in there with it and vice versa oh boy all these comments just blabbering what the hell though I think you only had one other comment to you so something first person to look at and then just skip LOL sincerely yours, above the blind bedroom guitarist
Thank you for your video for your content I appreciate it it's very interesting although I do believe or I should say yeah believe I think there's a language for you that your theory on the rock that was found in there habitat I guess with a :-) and that's why they took it I mean that's a really huge huge theory based on nothing that's that's a huge jump in reasoning to go from a found object in a area used by a being a living creature now what would have happened if you found the rock or a piece of wood that look like a boat I mean we see things we see we see symbols and signs and all that in so many different things it's like art right two people can look at the same thing and have completely different reactions and and thoughts on that object that would be completely polar opposites anyway that's just my opinion and we all know what opinions are analogous to don't wait LOL I happen to be blind wasn't always used to see like a regular kind of guy today I roll in darkness and my phone types of me it reads me what I touch on the screen and based on what this comment probably looks like or even sounds like the specs the text to speech app has its own unique take on language and speech and the way it's written and the grammar and all that kind of stuff LOL so excuse any lack of punctuation grammatical errors maybe something doesn't make sense but my app think it does anyway I'm just talking nonsense so sincerely yours, Bob the blind bedroom guitarist PS I don't use emojis I guess I kind of do :-) right only thing is when I touch the screen and it I don't know if it if it's a I have to ask someone actually if it's actually put in a :-) in there or when I say :-) it's putting the imagery there a question to ask a
Yes there seems to be 2 types of creative people, the one big idea type, who to use an analogy here, it's like they spend a lifetime quarrying limestone to build, just one pyramid, ( Everett and Chomsky) building on one big idea, and the other type of creative who uses the same quarry , uses it to make gravel to make a complex network of roads. Tesla type, who have 3 ideas before breakfast. I love listening to these lectures for new concepts to play around with. I presume you are a musician so l'll finish with this. l think music had a huge part to play in developing language, they are both linear and time bound and trigger emotions and gestures, as speech also does.
Again thank you professor Dan great lecture although we all have a we don't we'll have the freedom to say what we want to say where and when we want to say it I've been blessed to live in country that you can do that I'm a citizen of two countries I can do it in both countries but I guess when I'm getting at is that you know to me if your lecturing on a subject like the one you are a lecturing a lecture us with today I think political statements really don't do any service to your lecture although I'm sure you don't give a shit either way and I'm not saying that to be mean I mean we're all people will say and do what we want and your lecturing you can say what you want but it isolates people because not everybody has the same political views you know kind of let's go I guess in a way it gives you an insight a little more depth of the person that's even a lecture you know I now know that you're liberal and that you know you're to put it nicely you don't love Trump and that wasn't a far leap from your California was stolen statement and it makes me think of oh man I'm getting too old there's a physicist an amazingly brilliant physicist and I can't remember his name but I was reading one of his books and every now and then you know his political leanings were thrown in there and they got more and more and spaced out a little closer as the book went on and I don't see how whether or not you like a particular politician a particular political party has anything to do with teaching about physics it doesn't so I managed to get through that and then I was listening to Alexa and it started cropping up again and that was it for me even though this guy could have taught me an enlighten my mind I couldn't sit through it anymore you know when I when I'm trying to learn about black holes and entropy and all these other things you know I don't want to hear about how Trump sucks or have the Republican party is you know Nazis I don't want to hear that crap when I'm trying to learn something that's not related to it at all and you know thank God you know you made a couple of statements too but still you know if you would have made more and more I wouldn't look forward to listening to you again and I'm not and I'm not unique you know not to give you advice but I guess I am if you want people to take what you say to open their mind to your theories and thoughts you know throwing political crap into it it's got nothing to do with the Alexa you know it's just risking alienating people but then again I'm sure that the physicist I can't forget to remember his name it's horrible didn't give a shit or you wouldn't have put it in there cuz he wasn't stupid enough to not think that that would be a result on TH-cam so I've already wrote a book listening to your video my comments have become a book and a pretty boring one I'm sure so I'll end it here thank you again and I look forward to learning more sincerely yours, what's a gracias mi amigo told her about the car
This guy lectures students so l think the woke segues are for "protective camouflage" as all he will hear from students all day is how terrible are "dead White males! Which is bound to make him nervous haha
@@veronica_._._._ thank you for Veronica for your reply. I don't know if you read my whole comment but if you did you deserve a medal LOL I tend to write long comments most of the time. It's like an addiction I have a comment addiction for sure lol. I'm blind and I use speech to text which has its own unique take on the English language and how it's written. So a lot of times it's probably one long sentence with no punctuation words that don't make sense that makes sense but in a strange way it has its own way of doing things that's for sure. But without it I couldn't use the keyboard at all well I could but it would take a million years and I wouldn't be able to correct any mistakes. I don't know why I'm telling you this but I just wanted to thank you for replying stay safe
Boy what an enlightened mind! I mean that comment is so insightful and so in there in a great way! I wonder where this guy was educated? Have you ever read such a great comment that the touch so many points that are so dear to our daily lives and our way of living? I don't know as a modern day Galileo there. Mark Twain for sure. Anyway I'll look forward to more of this guy's comments. I think everybody should look out for a bob the blind bedroom guitarist comments because they're sometimes better than the videos. LOL yeah you got to teach your own horn and the you know get praise somewhere if you can't praise yourself who else is going to praise you? Sincerely Bob the blind bedroom guitars
Interesting study, but having 53 different spellings for all of the tenses of a verb, isn't more complex, just more convoluted. I didn't need to know the concept of a past preterite until I took Spanish. The 'joke' about all the different words for snow used by the Eskimos only indicates how important the difference between the condition these words imply. Hearing your comments about the number of different words used in English verb variations, only makes me wonder your beliefs on the limitations or mental limitations presented by various Chinese languages. But you have made a life discussing ad nauseam something that neither be proven nor validated.
the second I question I think you have are we going back you know more primitive with them emojis and all these other things and I have in the past that thought the analogy of texting digital texting and the telegram I mean you know where all these computers smartphones all that stuff it's too symbols two digits right and everything you get you know computer can do everything like how to teleport back in the day you know everything just do it by radio I mean they also had of course the the train the first transatlantic telecommution telecommunication cables you know for the telephone so yeah that's funny how you know you hear something you know listening to and it's very good that thank you and someone has that same idea that you had you know it's like well you know we can Skype we can do all this other stuff you know people don't bother to call you you know they'll text you it is less and personal you know it's a it's a step away from community although we always talk about you know our digital communities music art movies whatever but in a way sort of a sacrifice but it also has added advantages we can communicate with anybody on the world that has the same technology how freely we can do that depends also on community and other country but we also become you know the what do they call it you know the icon to get with your picture in it there's a name for it Avatar that's probably an avatar you know we sometimes I always wondered you know why am I texting this person you know when it would be quicker and easier to just call them and of course much less personal especially you know until you know the speech to text apps got better I remember in the 90s you know before the cell phone was really you know wasn't really that smart mental late 90s it was a chore to text on a phone you know before they had the virtual keypad or keyboard you have to like Morse code you had a tap a certain key like the number two key one's for a twice would be three times for c and using that mode you were able to text again blabbering made my point in the first few sentences probably anyway stay safe
Chomsky was wrong in many things..., as well as this guy. Language, by definition, is te production of sound that can be use in a body of communication. That is that!!!!

Very insightful - great learnings for a Sunday.

You are quite wrong AS TO the origin of meaning is culture. Cultivation by biological entities IS. IT IS A BIO-COSMIC PROCESS 😜
