Chomsky @ 7:00

[Jrunri]

Yes, skip to 6:44 to avoid the LONG intro. ;) 7:03 to get right to it.

Warning - Skip to minute 7 to avoid the LONG introduction.

Yes, like the title indicates... Partly linguistics but also an attempt to make a link, however loose, with the notion of universality in human rights. Rather fascinating actually. I do apologise for the slightly unsynchronized sound. Bad transfer. I hope it isn't too much of an inconvenience.

[Hornet0biker]

@pink0f Cheers mate.

[polymath7]

Chomsky discussing linguistics!?

*blinks quizzically*

 Now I've heard everything.

[iamtexas]

@polymath7 you're being facetious, right?

[polymath7]

@iamtexas *chuckle*

Yes, of course. That said, it really is nice to see him give a public lecture on linguistics.

[polymath7]

@iamtexas By the way, thanks for your comment. I "favorited" this video months ago but hadn't watched it. You inadvertently reminded me of its existence. Should be fascinating.
