Steven Pinker’s video and Debriefing – D46

After lunch, we watched Steven Pinker: Linguistics as a Window to Understanding the Brain. I must say that a lecture about words, rules, and interfaces does not sound so appealing, but it was a great complement for our reading on his book, Words and Rules. As a matter of fact, the video was entertaining and funny. Instead of writing particular facts, Bert suggested us to take our notes as questions, and so I did that. It was a good call.

Later, we debriefed the Pinker’s lecture, which there is not so much to mention except our increasing interest on this topic. Then we debriefed the day, and mainly talked about logistics regarding Euclid’s classes and the Thanksgiving lunch. Clap, clap, clap; the day ended.
