Words and Rules:
The Ingredients of Language
Video Lecture @ MIT World

Why does a three
year-old say “I went,” then six months later
start saying “I goed”? When you first heard the
word “fax,” how did you know the past tense is
“faxed”? And why is it that a baseball player is
said to have “flied out,” but could never have
“flown out”?
After fifteen years of studying words in
history, in the laboratory, and in everyday
speech, Steven Pinker has worked out the dynamic
relationship – searching memory vs. following
rules – that determines the forms our speech
takes. In one of his final lectures at MIT
Pinker gives the ultimate lecture on verbs, in a
rich mixture of linguistics, cognitive
neuroscience, and a surprising amount of humor.
If you’ve ever wondered about the plural of
Walkman, or why they are called the Toronto
Maple Leafs and not Leaves, this
lecture provides answers to these and other
questions of modern language.
Pinker's
Farewell
Video Lecture @ MIT World
Lecture Website In this personal
and reflective event, Pinker looks back at
twenty plus years at MIT and shares his deep
appreciation for the place where "ideas and
content always come first."
Recalling his earliest work at the MIT Center
for Cognitive Science, he describes the
maddening problem of how children learn to use
verbs correctly. You can splash the wall with
paint and can splash paint on the wall; you can
spill water on the floor but you can’t spill the
floor with water. Pinker theorized that children
unconsciously divide the world of actions into
categories like geometry and force, and that
humans have evolved a grammar based on this
intuitive physics. Pinker discusses Norm
Chomsky’s “enormous” impact on him, as well as
his profound differences with Chomsky concerning
the evolution of humans’ innate ability to
acquire language. In spite of jibes from
outsiders (often journalists), Pinker says he
reveled in teaching MIT’s introductory
psychology course. Finally, he describes many
sleepless nights while pondering the “most
agonizing choice of my career”—his decision to
leave MIT for Harvard.
