Feb 26, 2010 - @NoGuff Well yeah, I know what Newspeak is from Orwell and I guess "Biolinguistics" is refering to Chomsky's approach to the language faculty being innate (though I never heard him use that term).I still don't get what you mean by Biolinguistics = NewSpeakI thought maybe you meant something I like"I can't understand what this guy's talking about, therefore it must be bullshit"Was that it?
NoGuff Says:
Feb 26, 2010 - I could've sworn I answered your question. But that's my error.Biolinguistics studies the relationship between physiology & speech. Newspeak utilizes that supposed relationship to eliminate dissent, individualism, & new ideas.And a note about that alleged relationship: I'm guessing Chomsky's whole thesis of his work is meant to suggest Humans developed a vocal language because of our physiology. Well, its been shown that apes, esp. gorillas, should also speak, but they don't. Why?
Diosibundo Says:
Feb 26, 2010 - @NoGuff Youre GUESSING what Chomsky's thesis is?How about you listen to the lecture and figure out what he's saying. It has nothing to do with "Developing vocal language because of our physiology"Are you on meds? Stop listening to Palin dude, she's turning your brain into cottage cheese.

Feb 26, 2010 - "has nothing to do with "Developing vocal language because of our physiology""--Then why does the description say "the study of relations between physiology and speech?""Stop listening to Palin dude, she's turning your brain into cottage cheese"--Please tell me what she has said on the subject. I'm interested to know. Because I can't recall anything.

Jun 27, 2010 - ~12:50 he goes on about how the boundaries of psychological investigations of the brain versus physiological ones are somewhat fluid ( or "convenient")- then he launches into a tangental discussion of blurring of the boundaries of physics and chemistry- one would think that giving an example of what he's talking about (psychological approaches vs. physiological ones) would have been more germane. When he's talking politics he's very lucid- what's wrong? why can't I understand one paragraph?

Jul 9, 2010 - A few of the questions seemed to come from people who disagree with Chomsky's theories. They must be some of the Searl dick suckers from Cal.

Jul 13, 2010 - Did he say his grand daughter had a pet Chimp? 9:08 I find that hard to believe.
NoGuff Says:
Feb 26, 2010 - I hope you're only asking what I mean by the comparison."biolinguistics - the study of relations between physiology and speech"Newspeak is the elimination of selected words/elements for the false goal of making speech easier, quicker, less cumbersome. The idea being speech should come from the ease of the mechanics of speaking it instead of from the expression of complex ideas.The problem being the elimination of complex ideas (dissent & original thought) from mainstream discussion.
