Example: The man in the picture is Noam Chomsky, He is a very well known and widely respected Language Scientist. He is american and all his life, he has done research in the areas of grammar and language development among others. 


At the core of his theory there is the thought that the structures of language are not mere ordering of words in  that there aprinciples underlying the structrure of languge biologically determined in the mind and he thinks they are, therefore, genetically transmitted, in other words, since we come to life as humans, we come with the capability for language development.


He changed my perspectives of why people learn a language, of how people learn it and how can that proces be reproduced in further stages of life such as "learning" a laguange as an adult or  as he says, "acquiring" a foreign language in later stages and contexts of a lifetime.


He is considered the Father of Modern Linguistics and because of his extensive research, many new methodologies to language study, and also many new areas have opened up, an example is the applications of his language theory into Neuroscience and IT, and even today he keeps on opening up new ares of thought mixing his theories with discourse and particularly public discourse critical analysis, and needless say, he is a must-study for every linguistics or language-related-area-student.

    Arrival is a film that speaks of how language determines the way in which it perceives time, because of its linear structure, and how if we expose ourselves and learn a different kind of structure we could feel the time in a different way. I believe language is fundamental in our perspective of everything and that is really interesting c:

    I'm sure that I read something written by him, like in first or second year of college. I wish I had read his text with more attention. I just remember his name :/

    Accidentally, I saw a video in the morning where Chomsky debated with Focault about the Human Being. He is a great Social Science expert, in general.

    When I studied Pedagogy I read several Chomsky's texts. He is a great investigator, and across his texts I understood that the language is more than an automatic process and that we must be conscious of everything what carries his use.

    We have a few subjects about language and communication, but I don't think we've read something by Chomsky, anyway it sounds interesting.

    The "learning a language" process it is a very complicated to understand. I didn't read about Chomsky but it seems interesting to check some time.
