Description

Two linguists explore language and its secrets. Noam Chomsky and Andrea Moro discuss topics such as language and linguistics, the history of science, and the brain. They touch on surprising facts about artificial intelligence, brain studies, and language acquisition by children. Chomsky invites Moro to describe his experiments that reveal impossible languages for the human brain. These languages show unexpected properties and secrets of the mind. The conversation highlights the importance of being surprised by simple facts and acknowledges that not everything can be known. The discussion also touches on the idea that there may be permanent mysteries about language and other matters, with some words refusing to give up their secrets.
