Could anyone recommend a Noam Chomsky talk about language? I'm curious about his work but have never read or listened to anything from the man.


The ghost in the machine and the limits of understanding . A bit wider than linguistics but a great talk and intro to his style of prose


Look for "Language and problems of knowledge : the Managua lectures" which are about Plato's problem. It's reasonably introductory and accessible.

I love this old interview.

If you skip to the very last question at 26:50, it is a little bit poignant, considering this news.
