Podcasts about human language

Dr. Gašper Beguš is a UC Berkeley professor of linguistics who studies the interface between human, machine, and animal language. We head into the conversation with a question - is there something fundamentally different about the way that humans learn and the way that machines like LLMs learn? Vector embeddings of the relatedness of language and the map that we carry in our heads of abstract concepts don't seem that different at the end of the day. This leads us into a discussion of the ways in which humans acquire language, how language evolves, evidence for abstract thought in animals, where the bright line of consciousness can be drawn, and if taking a different approach to training computers to think can generate a machine that can match us in drive and curiosity.  Don't miss the historic cosmology summit in Portugal this summer!!!

According to the Bible, language is a divine gift from God, designed to enable fellowship with Him and humans. Studies on deaf children support this view. Those who lack language exposure instinctively follow universal grammatical patterns, indicating humans are programmed for language. This contrasts the evolutionary view, which struggles to explain the complexity of ancient languages and fails to account for innate linguistic abilities.

It's a strange thing that the concept of school has become almost universal over the last few hundred years. If you ask anyone almost anywhere in the world, they will be able to describe something that looks roughly like a shared concept of school. But maybe it didn't have to be this way. Maybe it could have been different. This week the amazing professor of anthropology Susan Blum Joins me to talk about 'schoolishness' which is her latest fantastic book, based on decades of research into the cultural development of the dominant ideas around formal institutional education. Susan D. Blum is a cultural, linguistic, and psychological anthropologist specializing in the study of China and the United States. She received her PhD in Anthropology from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and also has two MAs—in Anthropology and in Chinese Language and Literature (both from Michigan)--and a BA in Human Language from Stanford University. Professor Blum is the author and editor of 10 books and dozens of articles, as well as public-facing writing. Her latest book, Schoolishness: Alienated Education and the Quest for Authentic, Joyful Learning (Cornell, 2024), is the third in a trilogy about higher education. The other two books are "I Love Learning; I Hate School": An Anthropology of College (Cornell, 2016) and My Word! Plagiarism and College Culture (Cornell, 2009). She also edited a widely read book calling into question the centrality and necessity of grading, Ungrading: Why Rating Students Undermines Learning (and What to Do Instead) (West Virginia, 2020). She has taught at Oklahoma State University, The University of Colorado Denver, The University of Denver, The University of Pennsylvania, and The University of Notre Dame, where she is a Professor in the Department of Anthropology. At Notre Dame, she has served as Director of the Center for Asian Studies and Chair of the Department of Anthropology. She is a Fellow of the Helen Kellogg Institute for International Studies, a Fellow in the Institute for Educational Initiatives, a Fellow of the Liu Institute for Asia and Asian Studies, a Fellow of the Eck Institute for Global Health, and a Fellow of the Shaw Center for Children and Families. She received a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship for her book, Lies That Bind: Chinese Truth, Other Truths (2007), and has received the Delta Kappa Gamma Educator's Award, 2010, for her book My Word! Plagiarism and College Culture (2009), which was translated into Chinese in 2011. Blum has also received an Excellence in Teaching award from The University of Colorado Denver (2000) and the Reverend Edmund P. Joyce, CSC, Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching from The University of Notre Dame (2010).

It's fair to say that enjoyment of a podcast would be severely limited without the human capacity to create and understand speech. That capacity has often been cited as a defining characteristic of our species, and one that sets us apart in the long history of life on Earth. Yet we know that other species communicate in complex ways. Studies of the neurological foundations of language suggest that birdsong, or communication among bats or elephants, originates with brain structures similar to our own. So why do some species vocalize while others don't? In this episode, Erich Jarvis, who studies behavior and neurogenetics at the Rockefeller University, chats with Janna Levin about the surprising connections between human speech, birdsong and dance.

Check the website here: http://enlites.com/   Dr. Erica Cartmill is Professor of Cognitive Science, Anthropology, and Animal Behavior at Indiana University. She studies the acquisition and evolution of human language. Her work bridges the biological and linguistic subfields and involves both comparative and developmental approaches to communication. She is interested in how the multimodal aspects of communication contribute to and constrain the construction of meaning in spontaneous interaction. She is particularly interested in whether gesture played a role in the origins of human language.   In this episode, we talk about the evolution of gestures and human language. We start by discussing how old are gestures in evolution, what counts as a gesture, whether ape gestures are intentional, how flexible are ape gestures, whether they are innate or learned, and whether they have meanings. We also discuss whether they share features with human language. We talk about how gestures aid cognition. Finally, we discuss the future of gesture research. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

“Breaking the Cycle: How Limiting Beliefs Keep You Stuck in Fitness and Business” In this episode, we dive deep into the most dangerous belief holding you back from success: “That's just how I am.” Whether it's your fitness goals, business aspirations, or personal life, this mindset is keeping you stuck on a hamster wheel—repeating the same patterns but expecting different results. Discover how this subconscious belief sabotages your progress, and why breaking free from it is the key to transforming your life. We'll explore how the brain is hardwired to resist change and why pushing through that resistance is necessary to become the version of yourself that achieves real results. If you've ever said, “I just can't get fit,” “It's hard for me to stay consistent,” or “I'm just not that type of person,” this episode is for you. It's time to rewire your mind, challenge those limiting beliefs, and step into your power!

Welcome back to THE IAS COMPANION. Follow us on YouTube: ⁠www.youtube.com/@IASCompanion⁠. In today's lecture, we will explore The Nature and Structure of Human Language. Language is a complex system of sounds and symbols that allows us to communicate and think, playing a central role in human cognition. It enables us to convey abstract concepts, solve problems, and process information through structured combinations of phonemes, morphemes, and sentences. The unique properties of language—such as displacement, duality of patterning, and cultural transmission—set it apart from other forms of communication. Additionally, the concept of a critical period in language development underscores the importance of early exposure to language, as this is when the brain is most receptive to learning it. Understanding these aspects of language not only illuminates how we communicate but also provides profound insights into human cognition and social interaction. #UPSC #IASprep #civilserviceexam #IASexamination #IASaspirants #UPSCjourney #IASexam #civilservice #IASgoals #UPSC2024 #IAS2024 #civilservant #IAScoaching #aUPSCmotivation #IASmotivation #UPSCpreparation #IASpreparation #UPSCguide #IASguide #UPSCtips #IAS #UPSCbooks #IASbooks #UPSCexamstrategy #IASexamstrategy #UPSCmentorship #IASmentorship #UPSCcommunity #IAScommunity #UPSCpreparation #IASpreparation #UPSCguide #IASguide #UPSCtips #IAStips #UPSCbooks #IASbooks #UPSCexamstrategy #IASexamstrategy #UPSCmentorship #IASmentorship #UPSCcommunity #IAScommunity

This episode explores the biological basis of language, tracing its origins from early hominins to modern Homo sapiens, and examining the role of genetic mutations, brain structures, social interactions, and environmental factors in the evolution of language. The study also considers the comparative analysis of the communication systems of nonhuman primates to highlight the distinctiveness and complexity of human language. Darwinian perspectives, while insightful in highlighting natural selection, often lack concrete evidence ‎linking specific evolutionary pressures directly to linguistic changes. Nativist theories, particularly ‎Chomsky's Universal Grammar, propose an innate language faculty, yet they can be criticized for ‎insufficiently accounting for the vast linguistic diversity and the complex, gradual nature of language ‎change that historical linguistics documents. Cultural evolution theory emphasizes social learning and ‎cultural transmission, which aligns more closely with observed language changes over time, but it often ‎underestimates the deep structural similarities and divergences traced through rigorous historical ‎comparative methods. In my view, these theories tend to oversimplify the intricate, multifaceted processes ‎underlying language evolution, which historical comparative linguistics reveals through systematic analysis ‎of phonological, morphological, and syntactic changes across languages and time periods. Hence, while ‎they offer valuable perspectives, they do not fully capture the empirical complexities and nuances ‎uncovered by historical comparative linguistics.‎

“We were each put on earth to torment the other,” says cognitive scientist Steven Pinker of Elizabeth Bates, a psychologist who challenged the prevailing theory about how humans acquire language. Bates believed that language emerges from interactions between our brains and our environments, and that we do not have an innate language capacity. To many, that sounds like an innocuous statement. But in making these claims, Bates challenged formidable linguists like Pinker and Noam Chomsky, placing herself at the center of a heated debate that remains unresolved half a century later.

A new MP3 sermon from Midway Bible Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: The Origin of Human Language Speaker: Phil Gerard Broadcaster: Midway Bible Church Event: Sunday - AM Date: 4/14/2024 Bible: Genesis 11:1-9; James 3:1-12 Length: 44 min.

Since distant ancestrals first transmuted primitive utterances into expressive tongues, language has served as the very matrix binding fragile human experience. Through evolving linguistic means, generation upon generation encoded wisdoms, sung folk tales, invoked spirits, performed identities, and reached toward some tantalizingly ineffable understanding always hovering beyond the veil of the articulable. As millennia flowed onward, the manifold branches of our species' linguistic tree strained equally toward past and future - delving ever deeper into memory's fertile humus while constantly sprouting novel shoots from age to age. Communication's mysterious flowering has ever nurtured Homo sapiens' improbable growth through harsh lands. So come sit awhile beneath these rustling boughs of words; let us enjoy imagination's strange fruits ripened or still green. And perhaps certain seeds gathered here may find fertile soil in roles still to come.

A recent research conducted at Eotvos Lorand University in Hungary reveals that dogs possess the ability to link words with particular objects. Mona Garyali, a pet owner from Melbourne, sheds light on her experiences with Lucky, her 6-year-old dog, underscoring the depth of canine comprehension of both verbal commands and emotional signals.

In this discussion, we explore the evolution of innovation and creativity, reflecting on our species' remarkable trajectory from primitive tools to cutting-edge technologies. While intelligence is often credited as the driving force behind our progress, instances of seemingly irrational behavior challenge this notion. We recognize the prevalence of copying over independent innovation, evident in both societal dynamics and technological advancements. Drawing parallels between biological and cultural evolution, we consider how the interplay between imitation and innovation shapes human progress. Despite our inclination towards imitation, innovators play a crucial role in introducing new ideas and driving societal advancement. Through thought experiments and historical examples, we question the balance between innovation and imitation and acknowledge the complexities of human behavior and cultural evolution. Ultimately, we encourage a reevaluation of conventional understandings of intelligence and innovation, highlighting the importance of collaboration and adaptation in navigating a rapidly changing world.

This episode (i.e., On the Origin of Human Language, Part V) explores the significant role language has played in human evolution, contrasting it with genetic adaptations and cultural developments. Language, deemed more influential than genetic makeup in recent human evolution, enabled planning, cooperation, and information sharing. Unlike other animals, humans, driven by language, have inhabited diverse environments worldwide. Genetic changes associated with language development, like the FOXP2 gene, indicate its pivotal role in human brain expansion. Additionally, language facilitated the emergence of distinct ethnic groups and cultural diversity. Despite challenges in understanding animal communication, the unique spontaneity and complexity of human language distinguish it from other forms of communication. Through linguistic and genetic perspectives, the intricate relationship between language, biology, and culture becomes evident, highlighting language's profound impact on human evolution and society.

In this episode, I'm shifting to a more casual tone as I address questions from listeners around the world about my podcast, ORIENTALISTICS. Despite covering niche topics, the global engagement has been remarkable, with listeners from diverse regions. I encourage listeners to share their thoughts and questions for future episodes, aiming to delve deeper into topics like language evolution, the richness of languages, and the mystery surrounding the emergence of speech in humans. Despite our proficiency in language, its complexities and origins remain enigmatic. While research on communication in primates like Bonobo apes offers insights, it falls short of explaining the unique faculty of speech in humans. The diversity of languages adds to the complexity of linguistic inquiry, with scholars like Noam Chomsky proposing theories that challenge conventional evolutionary principles. Understanding language evolution involves examining neurological substrates and considering factors like bipedalism, which played a role in the development of human communication. Overall, as we explore the evolution of language from simple gestures to digital discourse, we confront fundamental questions about human cognition and communication that span across various disciplines.

In this episode, the focus is on the necessity and application of human language, exploring its origins, functions, and essential components. It discusses the connection between language and thought, emphasizing vocabulary, articulation, and syntax. The episode highlights linguistic variability, dialectal variations, and the dynamic nature of language evolution. It rejects misconceptions about language simplicity or superiority and advocates for inclusivity of diverse linguistic styles. Finally, it explores the interplay between synchronic and diachronic linguistics, emphasizing the continuous interaction between language variation and change.

In tracing the origins of human speech, we deal with the distant past where early communication likely ‎involved simple sounds indicating objects, individuals, and events. As Homo erectus evolved, their ‎communication advanced into structured strings of words, resembling modern polysynthetic languages. ‎This progression laid the groundwork for grammaticalized language, characterized by the combination of ‎lexical and grammatical words following regular patterns, ultimately enabling complex communication ‎and automation. While the exact origins and pathways of language evolution remain debated, exploring ‎these stages illuminates humanity's remarkable journey of linguistic development. ‎

The intriguing origins of human language, often shrouded in myths and speculation. From biblical tales like the Tower of Babel to scientific inquiries into paleontology, psychology, and historical linguistics, the quest to understand language's genesis spans across disciplines. We explore theories ranging from onomatopoeic approaches to the complex interplay between genetics, brain evolution, and social behavior. While the exact origins remain elusive, language undeniably shapes human civilization and consciousness, as evidenced by its absence in cases of wild children. Join us as we navigate the fascinating landscape of linguistic evolution and its profound implications for humanity.

No Religion Required to Worship the CreatorThis episode from the Network of Awareness spirituality series explores the possibility and implications of worshiping a creator outside the boundaries of organized religion. The host, ORRA The Informationalist, discusses the universal and transcendent concept of a higher power and how this connection can be deeply personal and not necessarily tethered to religious doctrines.

No Religion Required to Worship the CreatorThis episode from the Network of Awareness spirituality series explores the possibility and implications of worshiping a creator outside the boundaries of organized religion. The host, ORRA The Informationalist, discusses the universal and transcendent concept of a higher power and how this connection can be deeply personal and not necessarily tethered to religious doctrines. It explores how individuals can craft their own spiritual narrative through self-reflection, meditation, and mindfulness. The episode also covers the role of religious teachings, the limitations of language in describing the divine, the various aspects of personal faith and worship, ethics, and the notion of proselytizing, among other topics.

If you want to cool off in this brutal desert summer, you need to get up someplace higher, around 7,000 feet — the high-desert plateau around Los Alamos is real nice, at an elevation of 7,320'. Lots of people have fallen in love with the climate and clean dry air up there, such as  J. Robert Oppenheimer & Gore Vidal & William S. Burroughs. Burroughs was supposed to be a War Captain, following orders, but it never quite worked out that way. Instead, he would go to war with Human Language . . . using the weapon of the oppressor.

Listen to this interview of James Gee, Regents' Professor and Mary Lou Fulton Presidential Professor of Literacy Studies at Arizona State University. We talk about too much communication, about too much specialization, and about too much narrativization. We also talk about his books Introducing Discourse Analysis: From Grammar to Society (Routledge, 2018) and What Is a Human?: Language, Mind, and Culture (Palgrave Macmillan, 2020). James Gee : "It is absolutely crucial that the early-career researcher, that is, the person who is new to a field and also new to the community of that field — it is absolutely crucial that this researcher know the language of the group. In fact, I asked a biologist once — a very good one, by the way — I asked her, 'How much biology do you need to know to be in your lab?' And she said, 'Not much. You just need to know the beginnings of the language. Then we will sit around a table and talk, and you will learn the language and you will learn biology.'" Learn more about your ad choices.

The recent developments in AI are quite impressive. If someone had told me a couple years ago about the capabilities of something like ChatGPT I wouldn't have believed them. AI certainly has enormous practical benefit. But since artificial neural networks were inspired by biological neural networks they can also be useful models for them. In this episode I share some recent studies investigating the behavior of the brain using AI models and evaluating their possible underlying computational similarities.

Listen to me decide what to do with my life. As a multi passionate and outgoing extroverted bubbly people loving being, I'm ironically finding it hard to change and to be myself in the new spaces I find myself occupying. I took my Sounds of Human Language linguistics class and kinda hated it. I notice the differences in who I am now vs who I was in 2020-2021. I also notice the cycles I brought back from that time, by being on this same campus. I talk about my fears of being back and how I feel about myself vs how other people view me. I also talk about my peers graduating and leaving me! Oh Emory my Emory…. I can only pray and wait. Themes: Authenticity, change, peace, discretions and sensitivities, tact, college majors, psychology, linguistics (ish), NOT KNOWING WHAT YOURE DOING.

Neuroscience has made great strides in the last decade following the Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative, a science and engineering grand challenge that has greatly accelerated research on large-scale recordings from neurons and reconstructions of neural circuits. Large-scale neural network models have in turn inspired major advances in artificial intelligence. These network models have been trained on large-scale data sets to recognize objects in images, caption photographs, and translate text between languages. The most recent advance has been the emergence of pre-trained foundational language models that are self-supervised and can be adapted with fine tuning to a wide range of natural language tasks, each of which previously would have required a separate network model. This is one step closer to the extraordinary versatility of human language.

Language not only defines humans as a species, placing us head and shoulders above even the most proficient animal communicators, but it also beguiles us with its endless mysteries. How did different languages come to be? Why isn't there just a single language? How does a language change, and when it does, is that change indicative of decay or growth? How does a language become extinct?   In today's rebroadcast, I speak with John McWhorter, a linguist from Columbia University. He addresses these and other issues, such as how a single tongue spoken 150,000 years ago has evolved into the estimated 6,000 languages used around the world today, everything from proto-Indo European to Ebonics English in the United States.
