Language +

Hello everyone!

Have a listen to this talk IN ENGLISH (with subtitles in English if necessary) on how language became what it is and how it has evolved and what Mr. Pagel sees as the inevitable future.

Use the headphones.

Think about what Pagel says and develop your thoughts on this topic. Write what you think about what HE SAYS on the origin of language, on how it has evolved, on what he foresees as the future of language.

How do you feel about language and its power? About how this can be seen as a tool which can separate us (about minute 2/ minute 16)? How do you feel about “social learning as social theft? Why? Why not?

Do you agree with the idea of one world, one...

How do you feel about your language? How do you relate it to your identity as an individual and as a Chilean?
