  • "Asks basic questions about language, such as whether there is a core of properties that are true of all human languages, how do people interact with language, and how do people learn to follow the rules of language, without knowing why? Discusses Noam Chomsky's idea that the language faculty ia a subsystem of the human brain, that language is determined biologically. Many linguists give their views on such topics as words and concepts, sentences, grammar, syntax, and the idea of a universal grammar."@en

  • "Our species alone has the miracle of syntax. This film is about words, sentences and Universal Grammar -the system claimed to be common to all the world's languages. Can the structure of the language be separated from the meaning? We learn that the "Chomskyan revolution" changed language study into a search for what goes on inside the brain. We find out that the human language has two great ground plans. There are no "primitive" languages anywhere."@en
