About this film
Instructor: Prof. Norvin A. Richards View the complete course: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/24-900-introduction-to-linguistics-spring-2022/ [Note: Due to technical problems with the recording, no video is available for lectures 1 and 7.] This class provides some answers to basic questions about the nature of human language. Throughout the course, we examine a number of ways in which human language is a complex but law-governed mental system. Much of the class is devoted to studying some core aspects of this system in detail; we also spend individual classes discussing a number of other issues, including how language is acquired, how languages change over time, language endangerment, and others.
